Electro Harmonix Silencer is a sophisticated noise gate that can tame a single pedal or an entire effects loop!

The Silencer’s three-control layout provides precise fine-tuning to fit your system, axe and playing style. Threshold adjusts how much level is required to open the noise gate and allow a signal to pass thru.

Reduction regulated the degree to which the gated signal is reduced and is variable between -70dB and +4dB. Release controls how long the gate remains open after the signal drops below the Threshold. Release time is variable between 8ms and 4 seconds.

I/O includes ¼ inch Input, Output, Send and Return jacks. The footswitch selects whether the pedal is engaged or in bypass mode; buffered bypass allows the effects loop to remain in your signal path when the gate is bypassed. A built-in AC jack accepts a standard power supply like the EHX 9.6DC unit (optional) and the pedal comes with a 9V battery.

Electro Harmonix

Electro-Harmonix (EHX) is an American company known for manufacturing electronic audio equipment, particularly effects pedals for musicians. Founded in 1968 by Mike Matthews, the company is headquartered in New York City. EHX gained fame in the 1970s for creating innovative and iconic guitar pedals that shaped the sound of modern music, most notably the Big Muff Pi distortion pedal, used by numerous legendary guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour, and Jack White.

Financial struggles in early 1980s

The company initially thrived by producing various effects pedals, including fuzz, distortion, and delay units. However, EHX faced financial struggles in the early 1980s, leading to a temporary halt in production. In the 1990s, the company relaunched and resumed production, continuing to innovate and expand its product lineup to include effects for bass, synthesizers, and other instruments. Electro-Harmonix pedals are known for their high-quality, unique sound, and durability, making them a favorite among musicians in genres ranging from rock and punk to experimental and electronic music. Today, the brand is recognized worldwide for its contributions to audio effects and maintains a strong presence in the music industry.
