    Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

      I actually always put mine in the FX loop (having only one). You can make up for the "input tightness" a little with proper muting, you can't do ANYTHING about that infuriating amp noise.

    • @chris_2714
      @chris_2714 6 років тому +2

      Helix is great, just add a noise gate before the amp and the beginning of your fx loop for ultimate quiet. No messing with cables or buying extra pedals either! Just make sure it's the hard gate you're using.

    @elkvis 6 років тому +1

    The ISP Decimator G-String II does the same thing, and you don't need anything to split the signal, because it has two full signal paths - one for the sensor, and one for the control. the sensor goes in front, the control goes in the loop. I have one, and I will never use another gate.

  • @ASOPIF
    @ASOPIF 6 років тому

    So if I use ridiculous amount of gain in my amp and setup the zuul the way Ola describes and the have the nice gated sound and when I change to clean channel I dont have to fiddle with zuul knob and it doesn't gate clean channel too much so it wont cut my cleans off? As it reacts to my guitar signal? (currently using NS2 in front and mooer noise gate copy in loop and that cut my cleans badly if I dont switch them off)

    I wish you played a long sustained unison bend on high frets... this is the litmus test for noise gates as far as I'm concerned. Gated chugs are easy to get and the key input trick has existed for years, it's been done before... But I am more interested in how would this method work with those long decaying notes and at which point would it chop off the release altogether, or would it not do that. Y'know?

  • @ariets
    @ariets 6 років тому

    Not only this gate has a side chain, Boss NS-2 for example has it too. And you don't need another pedal (like tuner) with second output if you will use NS-2. So Zuul is cool but not "gate of the gates" in my opinion. Love this channel, thank you, Ola.

    • @mikefortin430
      @mikefortin430 6 років тому +1

      Key input is not a new concept. Boss NS-2 affects the tone, Zuul doesn't. What ever works for you, go with it!

  • @Tzeenth16
    @Tzeenth16 6 років тому +14

    Didn't the Boss NS2 can do this since years ? It have a key input like the Zuul but with the appropriate output so you don't need the extra output of the tuner or whatever. Just place the pedal chain with the preamp in the NS2 loop and there you go.

    • @pikkuarska
      @pikkuarska 6 років тому +1

      Yes, it does this. It also raises the mids and cuts the high end if used in the loop. It works ok in front of the amp.

    • @JorisGriffioen
      @JorisGriffioen 6 років тому +2

      Yeah but the NS2 isn't really suitable for the effects loop, it changes the tone quite a bit. There's also the ISP G-String and a ton of other pedals that do this though.

    • @zackk6402
      @zackk6402 6 років тому

      They all change the tone. Only the ZUUL is transparent.

    So basically you connect your guitar to a pedal that has two outputs. Then, from one output to the amp and from the other one to the key input of the Zuul, which is in the FX Loop. Am I right?

  • @ayeapprove
    @ayeapprove 6 років тому

    I use the ISP Decimator for the guitar noise and a cheap 25 EUR Noisegate for the preamp noise. Works great, but this pedal is also a great idea. It doesn't cut as smooth as I'd wish it would though

    • @zackk6402
      @zackk6402 6 років тому

      It's WAY smooth, and doesn't color your tone in the slightest. The ISP does to a ridiculous degree. Scott Ian from Anthrax heard ZUUL, and literally ripped 4 ISPs out of his rigs/backups, and went with ZUUL.

    • @ayeapprove
      @ayeapprove 6 років тому

    First of all sorry for my english, i have a question about the settings on my amplifier, my booster pedal and delay are always on in my fx loop, and I just want to turn them on when I'm playing solos, I activate this option pressing my footswitch effects, and if I want to play rhythm guitar I turn it down. When I activate the zuul to reduce the noise "it ruins" my setting preferences on the fx loop because if i want to reduce noise i have to turn my fx on. The point is what is the best option if I want to activate the boost and the delay effect just with one button? i was wondering if it was a good solution by connecting a loop pedal between the zuul out and amp return, thanks.

    Can someone explain me what is the thing with the « key input »? I want to know what it means and, how and why does that works please!

    It seems to work well but I think a "guitar through" jack would be more practical than just the key input.

    So the Zuul basically cuts high frequencies ?
    Forgive my noob question, first time I ever hear about noise gates

    Hello Ola. This is a very important question. Your answer could have a profound effect on my financial well being. Is your amp stock? Or, has Fortin been inside of it? Or, did Fortin build the thing himself? Please respond as soon as you can.
