The Hades Ultra Gate features two independent gates in one that are always on (No Footswitch). They have independent controls so that you can tailor the threshold to be positioned literally anywhere in your signal chain! You could even use it for two separate guitarists.

The Ultra Gate is larger than the single gate, but smaller than two individual gates and features top mounted jacks to save pedalboard space. Perfect for a very simple rig with insane gain levels.

Why multiple gates?

Running dual gates can make a big difference. One as the very first pedal in the chain keeps the noise your pickups are picking up from causing feedback. The one in the loop keeps the preamp noise from making it to the power amp.

This also lets you be more conservative on the threshold settings and gives you a better balance between zero noise and picking articulation.
