One question related to this circuit but O.T.
Will it be possible tweak the circuit in order to not have the envelop ?
Let me explain... this pedal is extremely silent that only when I play sound come out... in other words it is a GREAT GATE pedal.
So I was wondering whether I can mod it to change it in a standard GATE without the envelop.
...hope it is clear.
it has low noise prolly due to two things - low gain to not make self-noise or increase any incoming noise and a filter to cut out any high frequency noise. also, the filter is at its lowest position with no input signal which is what you want for a noise gate. if you wanted to make it into more of a gate you would want the filter to be a lowpass (see my lowpass mod) and instead of using an envelope derived from the input signal level, use a square wave instead, e.g. as long as you have signal the filter is at max position.
