ZVEX Loop Gate – Effects Loop Gating Pedal

Description

Fuzz and delay are two of the messiest signals to gate cleanly – most gates get confused trying to read the noisy output of a pedal chain and end up chopping notes or letting hiss through. ZVEX solved this by flipping the logic: the Loop Gate watches your incoming guitar signal instead, using it as the trigger to open and close a dedicated effects loop. Whatever insanity is happening inside that loop, whether it’s a howling fuzz or a splashy delay, never interferes with the gating decision.

• Built-in loop switch lets you drop a chain of pedals in and out of your signal path on command
• High-headroom audio gate design keeps things quiet with no added distortion or hiss
• Cross-fade mix control blends the loop signal in smoothly rather than hard-switching
• Chop mode turns the gate into a rhythmic, tremolo-like chopper for creative textures
• True bypass keeps your tone untouched when the pedal is off
• Simple stomp switch operation, runs on a 9V battery

For pedalboard builders running gain-hungry or modulation-heavy loops, this is less a traditional noise gate and more a control tool – it lets you commit to unruly effects without babysitting the volume knob or fighting feedback between songs. Place it around your dirtiest or most delay-drenched pedals and let the Loop Gate handle the cleanup.
