The Pentatone Gate is a standalone version of the GATE section of Ibanez's Pentatone preamp. This gate gets fast response and natural sustain and features an added threshold mode switch that allows you to adjust the threshold to the proper range. In addition, thanks to the 4 I/O sockets, the gate circuit can operate in a suitable location, such as right after the distortion pedals or between the send/return of a guitar amplifier.
