Key & Gate Noise Gate Pedal

Lichtlaerm Audio Key & Gate

The Key & Gate from Lichtlaerm Audio is a noise gate with an extra input and output for creative gating and side-chaining. With fully analog circuitry it reacts beautifully to your playing, never choking sustain or misfiring during fast passages. In Standard mode, it behaves like a transparent, studio-grade gate, while Keyed mode allows for creative routing: feed in a clean signal for precise gating, or experiment with external modulation sources for rhythmic effects. With just one Threshold knob, the control interface is minimal, but the performance is nuanced and musical. Built to be invisible until it needs to strike, the Key & Gate is the ultimate silent guardian for any high-gain or ambient rig.
