The Zuul® didn't just participate in the noise gate revolution; it started it. Now, the Zuul®+ sets the new benchmark for professional signal control. We took the circuit that defines modern high-gain silence and engineered the ultimate solution for the touring and studio guitarist.

Why the Zuul®+ is the Pinnacle of Gating:

Integrated Signal Splitting: The new Key Thru jack (with dedicated Ground Lift) eliminates the need for external splitters. Your pedalboard wiring just got cleaner and simpler.

Studio-Grade Precision: 

New Hold and Release controls allow you to sculpt the gate’s response down to the millisecond. Go from percussive, djent-style stops to smooth, natural decay without chopping off your sustain.

Dynamic Key Input: 

Keeps the gate triggered by your direct guitar signal, ensuring perfect operation even after massive fuzz or distortion pedals.

Don't let noise compromise your tone. Upgrade to the Zuul®+ and experience the absolute limit of silence.

Gate - Adjusts how much level is required to open the noise gate and allow a signal to pass through.Hold - Controls the time which keeps the gate open during brief pauses in the signal source.Release - Controls the length of time the gate takes to change from open to fully closed when the hold time is over - the fade out duration. A low amount of release cuts the sound quickly, a higher amount gives a slower fade.

With the Key Control, the gate reacts to your guitar only and will not get distracted by other gain stages, or other pedals

Hold - Controls the time which keeps the gate open during brief pauses in the signal source. Release - Controls the length of time the gate takes to change from open to fully closed when the hold time is over - the fade out duration. A low amount of release cuts the sound quickly, a higher amount gives a slower fade.

Q: Will the Zuul change the tone of my amp?
A: We are proud that the Zuul will not color the tone of your amp / signal chain. However, the Zuul will buffer the signal so if you are not already running a buffer you may feel like the Zuul inserts "top end" into your tone. The Zuul is not adding this to your tone, it is simply restoring what is already there, giving you an actual representation of the tone coming from your instrument!
Q: It's not working in the effects loop properly, what's happening?
A: One of the most common questions we get is problems in the effects loop... 99% of the time this is due to the loop being parallel and not series. In order for the Zuul to work correctly in the loop, it HAS to be in a series loop.
Q: What does the key do?
A: Placing a gate after your gain stages can prove to be annoying as the gate is looking at the effected signal to try to work out when to open and/or close. They Key In/Thru listens to what your instrument is doing only (as it is effectively first in the chain), and then opens and closes the gate according to your instrument and not any the floor noise, artifacts etc coming from your gain stages. When the Key is used and triggered by your instrument, the gate itself is set after your gain stages and before any delay/reverb effects - this way you have complete control of your gate and it will not affect your other effects.
