Purpose

The Gate permits signals above a certain level to pass through while prohibiting or reducing the output level of lower level signals. When the Gate is in its open state the input signal passes through un-attenuated. When the gate is in its closed state, the input signal is attenuated as specified by the Depth control.

The Gate waits for a zero crossing before switching between open and closed states. This generally keeps the switch action from being audible and allows the gate to open quickly when a adequate signal is detected.
