The Ibanez Pentatone Gate pedal gives you surgical control over your guitar's dynamics and sustain. Built as a standalone version of the gate section from the Pentatone preamp, this pedal achieves a remarkably quick and transparent response to preserve your natural tone. With the added threshold mode switch, you can fine-tune the threshold to match your playing style and instrument. The four I/O jacks allow flexible placement in your signal chain so you can position the gate where it works best—like after distortion pedals or in your amp's effects loop.

Precise Threshold Control for Natural Sustain

Getting the threshold setting just right is the key to a natural-sounding gate effect. The Pentatone Gate's dedicated threshold knob lets you dial in the perfect level to match your guitar and playing dynamics. The added threshold mode switch provides an expanded threshold range so you can really zero in on the ideal setting. This prevents abrupt or unnatural cutting off of notes and allows your guitar's natural sustain to ring through. The threshold knob also features an LED, letting you visually monitor when the gate is open or closed.

Flexible Connectivity to Optimize Signal Chain

With its four I/O jacks, the Pentatone Gate gives you flexibility in setting up the ideal signal chain. You can place the gate after distortion or overdrive pedals to eliminate any unwanted noise when you aren't playing. Or, use it in the effects loop of your amp to control noise and sustain for the entire signal. This pedal can also be used as a standard stompbox in your pedalboard chain. The 1/4" jacks ensure seamless integration with your existing rig.

Quick, Transparent Response Preserves Tone

A slow, muddy gate can negatively impact your tone. The Pentatone Gate is designed for a fast, transparent response that doesn't color your sound. As soon as you strike a note, the gate opens instantly to let your signal through. When you stop playing, it closes smoothly to cut off noise. This fast tracking preserves the clarity and nuance of your playing technique. The gate circuitry itself is based on the preamp section of the Pentatone pedal, providing exceptionally transparent gating without altering your core guitar tone.
