it's a noise gate.
It is a noise gate, barely.
For the normal player that just wants to keep the excess noise down during play-breaks, this is a fine option.
HOWEVER...
This gate is anything but fast, or neutral in its sound.
the Attack is reasonable, but honestly I find it too slow. The same goes for the decay. Threshold is (again) also a bit wierd.
I realize I seem to just be pointing out the negative... So here are some pro's :
It's built quite well.
If you want a noise/hiss killer for non-playing moments, this will do just fine, but using it musically is a different matter...
ease of use... it only has two knobs, and they work.
when the gate is closed, it is truely noiseless.
I would advise this little gate for a home-player/practice room setup, so that the guitar noise doesn't irritate your bandmates to club you to death with the nearest mic-stand.
Other than that: if you want a gate you can use musically, this is not it. it's just too slow. Invest in a better gate if you want that :)

Okay at its best
It does the job, but only for softer distortions.
If you play with a lot of overdrive, you might be better off looking at something more expensive.

Cheap but kinda ok noisegate
The best thing about this pedal probably is design. Maybe it's only my unit but power input kinda broken. Sometimes I need to adjust power cable for pedal to work. When it works it's ok. Overall, not the greatest option but for this price it's acceptable.
