Donner Noise Gate Pedal, Noise Killer Guitar Pedal Noise Suppressor Effect 2 Modes for Electric Guitar and Bass True Bypass

I bought this at the recommendation of another guitar player who was using one of these as a backup to his MXR Smartgate he has been using for years. He told me he bought the Donner as a backup but was so surprised by the quality, he said I should try it as the price/performance was amazing. So, this was delivered the other day and I've had the chance to use it several times. I put it after my Joyo Vintage Overdrive (noisy) and Skreddy Lunar Module (fairly quiet unless turned up to high levels) but before my modulation/time effects. Honestly, I really don't turn on the Donner much for the Skreddy unless I crank up the fuzz to crazy levels or combine it with the Overdrive. However, when I use the Overdrive, whether alone or combined with the Skreddy, it gets really noisy. This is where I have been pleasantly surprised. The Donner is very easy to set with one dial and I was able to fine tune the Threshold (on the Soft filter setting) to where it cuts out most of the noise but still allows me to have significant sustain (I'm using a Fender Stagemaster FAT SSS). This also works well as I can kick in my compressor (which amplifies noise; MXR Dyna Comp) which furthers the sustain and can boost the levels even more without a lot of noise (i.e. it's a lot quieter). I haven't used the Hard setting, so I can't speak to that, but the Soft has been plenty. FYI, I did have a Boss NS2 that died on me. The NS2 did a good job of filtering but I found it to have a harder cut than the Donner. Also, the NS2, with numerous settings available, takes some more tweaking but does allow more options. The Donner is very quick and intuitive to set with a pretty soft cut (at least on the Soft setting). The Effect Loop on the NS2 was a nice option and allowed me to run my noisy pedals through the loop and bypass the modulation/time based effects. If your looking for more settings, options and fine tuning, the NS2 may work well for you. If you want something that is easy to set, does a good job, takes up very little space on your board, the Donner is a great option. I wish I could compare this to additional noise pedals, but I can't. For me, this pedal is worth every cent and a small investment.

Review is for Donner Noise Gate Pedal, Noise Killer Guitar Pedal Noise Suppressor.... Upon setting up my pedal board, I noticed the dreaded "hum" on high gain using a modeler. Figured I would give this a try to see if it gain reduce or maybe ELIMINATE that high gain "hum"..... I put this as the FIRST pedal in my chain. Well...I am here to tell you this little pedal works wonders. Completely eliminated the "hum" and now silence. That is until you hit a string, then you actually realize how loud your volume is. Connected a 2nd guitar, which has a grounding issue, where if I touch a covered pickup, I get noise/feedback/or reduction of same.... This pedal completely eliminated that noise. I couldn't be happier with this performance of such an inexpensive purchase. Has made it so that I DO NOT need to reduce the gain settings in my presets, like I had to do in order to get usable, high gain, low noise - working tones, prior to putting this pedal on my board. Works wonders for me, with only turning the control knob about to the 10 o'clock position. Completely removes all hum and noise. Wow. Impressed. I did not notice a difference in tone....just turned the knob until the noise was gonzo. While there are lots of noise gates on the market, which I do not have experience with....give this one a try....without breaking the bank....it works for me.

Only had it a very short time and already the fecal amazon algorithm wants a review... So far it is great for the price, works fine, Kills noise w No issues and the best thing is that it isn't annoyingly pestering me for reviews like excremental Amazon. TLDNR: The pedal isn't crap, UNLIKE Amazons insistence on nearly immediate reviews. Which clearly is.

I’ve tried multiple noise gate pedals over the years, and the Donner Noise Killer has seriously impressed me. If you struggle with unwanted hum or interference—especially with high-gain setups—this pedal is a lifesaver. Two Modes for Ultimate Flexibility The Hard mode aggressively cuts noise, perfect for high-gain, distorted tones where you need a firm gate. The Soft mode is smoother and more natural, ideal for preserving sustain while subtly eliminating background noise. Switching between the two is seamless, and both modes deliver a crisp, noise-free output. True Bypass & Signal Integrity Unlike cheaper alternatives that interfere with tone, this pedal maintains a clean and transparent signal path when disengaged. No tone suck, no muddiness—just your pure sound when the pedal is off. Compact & Built to Last The metal chassis feels rugged and sturdy, yet it’s compact enough to fit comfortably on any pedalboard. The simplicity of the controls is a huge plus—no unnecessary complexity, just efficient noise suppression. Perfect for All Guitarists & Genres Whether you play metal, rock, or even ambient cleans, this pedal adapts beautifully. I’ve tested it with single coils, humbuckers, and various amps—always delivering stellar results. If you’re looking for an affordable yet high-performing noise gate, this Donner pedal is a must-have.

It works great and was exactly what I needed.

I don’t run a ton of OD/distortion or anything that really creates a noisy environment. I just needed something to squash some minimal buzz and tighten thing up a bit. This pedal was exactly what I needed and for the price is very much worth it. Solid build design, compact, and tightens up my overall output just enough to shape an aggressive and clean sounding guitar tone. So if you’re a minimalist with effects and pedals and just need something to dampen the buzz and tighten your chugs up a little, this pedal is a must. 10/10

Fantastic budget noise killer. I love my p90 pickups, but let's be honest - the hum can be loud. This pedal, when activated, completely kills the hum. I'm sure there are some that are better and have more features, but this seems to do the job quite well and inexpensively.

Works pretty well for the price. On my own chain though I do experience some noise probably due to voltage or something, (I'm running it as guitar - Donner tuner - Donner suppressor - maxon od808 - earthquaker dispatch master - all into an orange crush 120 and powered by a Dunlop power supply brick) and the od808 seems to create some sort of slight fizziness/hissing which isn't too audible unless at performance volume. I will say without the noise suppressor on there is very noticeable sound even with the bypass from the tuner, but it seems to be that the suppressor cannot completely eliminate all the noise coming from the maxon 808. I also just got the pedals fairly recently so I'm still learning and figuring out the best way to chain and dial in for my live setup. I'd give this five stars if it eliminated all sound, but for the price, I cannot complain. I bought this simply because it was cheap and because I like the tuner so I figured what's the worst that could happen. If you want a "better" suppressor/noise gate then you will have to pay a bit more for one of those fancier one's, but for less than 40 dollars, it does a pretty good job, just not so well with the distortion. also does not come with any power adapter or cables so make sure you have those in advance.

Smidigt format, lättanvänd och gör sitt jobb

シングルコイル特有のジーというノイズが消えてお値段以上の価値があります。BOSSのNS-1ような高性能ではありませんが必要十分です。

works ok but after some time it dident seem to cut the noise for some reason, it may one of my batteries loosing power so ill try it out again later

Hab das Teil gerade ausprobiert und es macht was es soll und das ohne groß etwas einstellen zu müssen! Die Verarbeitung ist super und der Lärm wird definitiv gekillt! Wirklich ein geiler Noisegate für n schmalen Taler!

Noise gate che assolve alla perfezione il suo compito. C'è un notevole rispetto per il suono che non risulta alterato, e, attraverso le semplici ma efficaci regolazioni, l'apparecchio non si mangia il sustain,che risulta naturale. Mi ha risolto vari problemi di fastidiosi rumori nel mio armamentario musicale. Il tutto in un piacevole e robusto case di metallo verniciato in verde. Peccato non averlo preso prima...Speriamo nella durata, ma questo marchio si è da molti anni affermato nel campo degli accessori per fare musica. A questo prezzo lo ritengo un vero affare!
