ZUUL®+ Blackout

Incomparably better than my now-sold Boss NS-1X at not making digital-sounding noises. Anything runs quiet as a mouse after the Zuul except my germanium fuzz, which is common enough with fuzz that it’s expected from players at this point. Vs. the Boss unit, where I get breakthrough noise wherever I put it in the chain when I use suppressor mode.

From the NS-1X, even 4-cable method, I was getting odd, fizzy bleed-through that sounded like more like an Internet buffering issue than anything else. Not often, but that’s not the point when the point is silence.

I swapped in the Zuul. Mine is the blackout edition, but the silence is golden.

Works fantastic easy setup. Great support team

The key input is key. Pun intended but no jokes here. You key it off your guitar directly in and there is a key through so you can go to the front of your amp from there. Put the Zuul in the loop and wallah. Your amp suddenly sounds like a record being mixed on an SSL console.

Best noisegate I've used

The Zuul+ is an excellent noise gate. I use it to kill some super high gain amps and pedals. Really responsive to pick attack. I love it. The black out edition looks and feels awesome because we all know the color of the pedal determines the tone!
