I've been buying minis lately and downsizing gear. Love the mini pedals! Getting ready to order this Noise Killer but stopped to check demos. After watching this demo, I'm convinced I'll be happy with it. Great demo!
Okay this is a great demonstration of a simple yet practical metal set up. Thank you for not making yet another bad blues pedal review. RUclips is so saturated with those that it's difficult to find simple metal guitar gear demos without first sorting through a sea of horrid daddy got the blues jams... lol don't get me wrong. I appreciate the talent involved in quality blues. But it's not what I'm looking for 99.9% of the time. So, once more thank you for a very well done, to the point demo, incredible riffs, and no frills or gimmicky sponsorship plugs lol. If this was a sponsor driven demo it's one that sells itself so nicely done. Good gear sells itself. It doesn't require sales tactics. Well done and one last big thank you for an all around good video. Bravo sir! 👏
Thank you heaps! I haven't done any sponsored videos, the closest I came to was a competition I was asked to join that had sponsored prizes. All my equipment is bought myself. Which is good because I'm not comfortable with trying to sell anything haha. I love making videos with sounds I'm trying to get, for tones I love that I feel is really lacking for resources and raw discussions. I agree with the blues over saturation, take nothing away from how good they are at what they do... But it doesn't tickle my heavy screaming itch for brutal tones on a budget.
I bought this pedal used at a Guitar Center on a whim for $30 because I had some left on a gift card. I play a Fender strat through a Behringer V-Tone GDI 21 and I use a lot of gain. This has cleaned up a LOT of the buzz and hiss on the single coil settings. It's not the greatest for a clean gate to cut off notes, but as a noise reducer and buzz/hum eliminator, it's tremendous. Excited to try it for recording in the coming weeks.
I brought this pedal on a whim as well when they had a promotional run on Facebook. I find myself using it a lot for recording demo's and even while recording jams in these videos as it saves me so much time editing and cleaning up.
IMo Compression is ok to use while recording but for noise redux you def want to handle that via software in post. You don’t want to cut off the best part of your best sustainy solo.
Good video. I'm very fond of my Noise Killer. I love it when a cheap pedal isn't just "good for the price" but surpasses expectations : ) I was really surprised that it cuts off hum and hiss, but doesn't chop off sustain too early.
Thank you! I think I'm really hyper aware of my stuttering, so I believe everyone can hear it and is annoyed by it. I think I've only had a couple of negative comments about it when I first started this channel. Appreciate the kind words. I have used this pedal a lot since discovering it, it makes tracking guitars and bass much easier and quicker to edit, as near to no editing is needed. Since I'm creating two videos a week and currently composing demos for my band, it is very welcoming!
I have the Rowin gate, which I think is the exact same pedal just differently branded. Its good but occasionally stumbles I find. Pretty transparent still. Ive heard its (the donner and rowin) is based on the isp decimator circuit.
The decimator is held in high regards. My bandmate has one and loves it, I haven't used one first hand yet. Rowin gate I've heard good things about as well. Is that the little white version you use?
@@metalprognosis yeah that's the one. It has the same graphics and controls as this one and behaves the same from what I can tell. I reckon its pretty good in front of the amp, in the effects loop not so much. Not sure why.
This pedal has made a few more appearances on the channel. It's currently running through my effects loop of my amp cutting all the hiss noise! No matter how loud I crank my amp, there is zero hiss coming out of the speakers!
I play a lot of high gain and my Marshall DSL-1 gets really noisy when the furnace and washer/dryer run as they are on the other side of the wall. This cheap pedal probably cleaned up like 99% of the noise. I can’t believe it!
Thank you for the video! Can you tell me about your power source to the noise gate? The website says the petal draws 500ma. What do you use to power it? Thanks
Not sure, I haven't tried the nr300. I have heard the nr300 doesn't gate as quickly as the noise killer. I can only go off what I've heard as I haven't tried it myself.
It is simpler, and you can't do the four cable method with it. The sentry you can home in on specific frequencies and really customise it... the noise killer is very much a yes or no to your sound. If you don't want to muck around with settings and want to utilise a pedal simplicity... both pedals are as good as each other! They are both great at cutting unwanted noise, they both can djent assist and both have a boost output.
@@metalprognosis they both work great! I could have guessed but I was wondering beforehand if the noise gate would stop my feedback but it doesn’t completely but that’s also because of a guitar issue, other than that it’s just having that 10 band to control everything and the gate to shut everything up lol
@@kingtaco4064 That is awesome to hear! It does wonders for my ENGL amp noise! I have it in my effects loop and it takes away %100 of the hiss no matter how hard I push the gain!
I can't recall sorry... I'll check it out and see what markings are on it when I get home. I know the company got brought out and have been rebranded...
Thank you for checking out the video. It's a challenging thing thinking of the best way to put this noise gate pedal under stress and try express that for anyone watching. I'm sure there could be a better way of doing it.
@@metalprognosis when ur editing just cut the stuff people dont need to see. you have to be able to have that mindset to keep any retention from strangers on the internet.
@@pastainthesink1601 ah yes let’s take advice from the guy with no subscribers whose probably never picked up a guitar in his life on how to put together a quality pedal demo. Go get a life dude instead of shitting on people who have one lol.
@@metalprognosis For what its worth, your video helped me in my purchasing of this pedal, which I now use. I enjoyed the video format and found it informative.
@@KloWn694 thanks heaps Thomas. I enjoy my one take raw approach of my videos, leaving mistakes, rough playing and capturing my discoveries to share. I also respect its not for everyone. This is a great pedal, I still have it on my main setup I used for recording.

Best demo I've seen on this little guy! Thanks
Thank you. It was a fun and surprising video to make. The little pedal is pretty brutal.

Thx for the demo you just gained a new subscriber. You just helped me decide to get this pedal.
Thank you very much! I'm really happy I could help you out.
This pedal is a little beast. I have it on my main setup at the moment.
Best noise gate I've ever used.. and still use is a tc electronics sentry. It's a must for anyone using blackstar or anything high gain
High gain is what warms my heart... But you are right, any high gain needs a noise controller of some sort.
Good video. I'm very fond of my Noise Killer. I love it when a cheap pedal isn't just "good for the price" but surpasses expectations : )
I was really surprised that it cuts off hum and hiss, but doesn't chop off sustain too early.
It is still apart of my main setup! Such a powerful little pedal!
Great review and plan on getting one tonight (and didn’t even sense the stutter until you mentioned it👍). Great rig & playing too! Cheers!

Perhaps you could a video with the pedal using clean, and use various other effect pedals too? Thanks for the in depth video!!
This pedal has made a few more appearances on the channel. It's currently running through my effects loop of my amp cutting all the hiss noise! No matter how loud I crank my amp, there is zero hiss coming out of the speakers!
@@metalprognosis Nice!
Thanks for the heads up my dude!
This is a great noise gate for the $$$. Probably better than anything else this side of The Sentry.
I agree it's amazing!
Thanks for the vid. I think I shall consider one of these Noise Killers.
Thanks for checking out the video.
Yeah, it's really powerful for its size and price.
Great review!
Thank you.
This is a very cool pedal as well, I used it nearly every day.
I play a lot of high gain and my Marshall DSL-1 gets really noisy when the furnace and washer/dryer run as they are on the other side of the wall. This cheap pedal probably cleaned up like 99% of the noise. I can’t believe it!
Hopefully a pedal like this can help you. I don't remember, does the dsl have a effect loop?
@@metalprognosis yes I run it in the loop right before my delay pedal. Works great!
Your videos are great ;)
Thanks for the support!
An Aussie to another aussie,,, awesome review man, thks very much
Thank you very much! I'm down in Melbourne, where are you at?
This is a great little pedal, I have it on my main setup at the moment.
Thank you for the video! Can you tell me about your power source to the noise gate? The website says the petal draws 500ma. What do you use to power it? Thanks
I used a 9v power pedal. I don't know what ma is sorry.... I brought a joyo power supply that can run about 7 pedals at once if need be.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hey, what power suppy did you use for the noise killer? I’m pretty sure one isn’t included.
No one isn't included. I just use my standard 9v joyo pedal power supply.
@@metalprognosis okay, thank you so much!
Dude we're are you located! Be sick to jam!! I do vocals and we could make some sick music!
I'm in Melbourne Australia, currently living the luxury life of lockdown flattening the curve.
Do you think this one is better than the behringer NR300 ?
Not sure, I haven't tried the nr300. I have heard the nr300 doesn't gate as quickly as the noise killer. I can only go off what I've heard as I haven't tried it myself.
Thanks buddy
Happy you enjoyed the video.
Is this as good as the sentry?
It is simpler, and you can't do the four cable method with it.

Love the video, but I'm dying to know; How much did you pay?
I think it was about $15 aud. Crazy cheap for the results.
throw a 10 band EQ after it noise gate and see if you can get the cleanness and mid frequencies
Not a bad idea my friend. I should give that a shot.
@@metalprognosislol I literally had just bought both of those types of pedals, they arrive today let’s see how they work lol
@@kingtaco4064 awesome, let us know how you go.
@@metalprognosis they both work great! I could have guessed but I was wondering beforehand if the noise gate would stop my feedback but it doesn’t completely but that’s also because of a guitar issue, other than that it’s just having that 10 band to control everything and the gate to shut everything up lol

Soilwork!!!!!
I do love soilwork... I've seen them live a handful of times, and just got tickets to see them again in November I think.
@@metalprognosis right on man. I’ve met bjorn a couple times. Such a laid back guy. One of my fave vocalists of all time. 😊🤘
@@Namelessforever_ That's awesome!
what kind of shark attack guitar is that?
I can't recall sorry... I'll check it out and see what markings are on it when I get home. I know the company got brought out and have been rebranded...
GOC guitars originally... just had a look.
slightly is killing bass
Is that the noise killer, or just how I eq the guitars? I personally always like to drop a lot of bottom end off with low tuned guitars.
Just bought this pedal. Arrived D.O.A. Not only killed the noise, it killed everything. Don't buy cheap made in China pedals.
That sucks it didn't work for you. My one an others I've used from there work perfectly.
wtf, horrible playing and 4 minutes of the pedal being off while u switch between horrible pedal tones
Thank you for checking out the video. It's a challenging thing thinking of the best way to put this noise gate pedal under stress and try express that for anyone watching. I'm sure there could be a better way of doing it.
