MXR M235FC Smart Gate® Pro Foot Controller: The Ultimate Noise Reduction Solution

The MXR M235FC Smart Gate® Pro Foot Controller is a dual-channel remote foot controller that allows you to switch between channels 1 and 2, or sync them for ultimate noise reduction. This high-quality foot controller is manufactured by the renowned brand, JIM DUNLOP, making it an excellent pick for guitarists who seek ultimate control and precision.

For anyone who has ever experienced unwanted noise from their guitar rig, you understand the importance of noise reduction. The sounds of your guitar that you want to hear can get lost in the background hum, buzz, and other kinds of unwanted noise. The MXR M235FC Smart Gate® Pro Foot Controller offers a game-changing solution to provide crystal-clear sound quality by removing all external noise.

The MXR M235FC Smart Gate® Pro Foot Controller runs on a 9v battery, which is located at the top of the pedal. The unit can also be powered via a 9v DC adapter, which can be purchased separately. The compact size of the pedal, combined with the dual channels, makes it an excellent pick for every guitarist in need of ultimate noise reduction.

The MXR M235FC Smart Gate® Pro Foot Controller features a genuine Dunlop footswitch, which means that you won't have to worry about accidentally switching channels during a performance. The pedal's build quality is solid, and you can tell that it was built to last.

The controller has several different switches that allow you to adjust the settings to your preference. The switches are located on the side of the unit and are easily accessible. One of the features that make this foot controller so versatile is the 'Hysteresis' switch. The Hysteresis switch creates a delay between the time the gate closes and when it opens, which results in the reduction of unwanted noise and creates a cleaner sound. This switch is particularly useful when you want to leave the feedback in your guitar rig without causing any unwanted noise.

The 'Release' switch, situated next to the Hysteresis switch, controls how long it takes for the noise reduction effect to kick in. The 'Threshold' switch adjusts how much noise the controller should remove. The 'Gate' switch turns the noise reduction effect on and off. Finally, the 'Sync' switch allows you to sync channels 1 and 2 when using the controller in stereo mode. This feature is particularly useful when you want to switch between different effects seamlessly.

In conclusion, the MXR M235FC Smart Gate® Pro Foot Controller is an exceptional product that provides a much-needed solution to guitarists who seek ultimate noise reduction. The foot controller's compact size, dual channels, and genuine Dunlop foot switch make it an excellent pick for every musician, whether they're touring or playing at home. The variety of switches available on the side of the unit allows you to customize the controller to your preference, and the Hysteresis switch creates a delay which reduces unwanted noise and creates a cleaner sound.

I highly recommend this product to anyone seeking a better solution to noise reduction in their guitar rig. The MXR M235FC Smart Gate® Pro Foot Controller is sure to become an essential part of your kit, and I'm confident that you'll wonder how you ever got by without it.
