Just curious, how many of you use noise gates in your chain? I tried an mxr smartgate the other day and thought it was fantastic. running a wh-10, ds-2 and big muff can cause some serious background noise, and this thing eliminated it completely.
For those of you who use them or want to use them, which pedals do you prefer?

I've never found the need for one, but if it works for you,you should get it.
As a matter of interest, how do you power your pedals?What kind of amp and guitar do you use?

i power my pedals via AC power
i use a variety of amps, everything from fender tubes and solid states, kustom 12a tube, vox ac15
guitars = strats, telecaster, jazzmaster all with regular single and p-90 pickups
the wh-10 alone creates a ton of noise when its on

Nah, you should be fine with 'em. Really it's just a matter of is-it-worth-the-cost? not really a tone thing. Try it out for yourself, get one from Guitar Center, if you don't like it, bring it back under their 30/30 say you didn't like the sound.

"Well, it was put to me by "that guy" when I was, like, four. So I went into my parents' record collection and found a rock'n'roll compilation. And when my mom asked if I wanted to move to L.A., I said, "Yeah," because I knew that was where the rock stars were. I was seven. Then when I found punk and listened to the Germs, I started seeing how I was part of this. I remember being out on the baseball field when I was 11, and I felt like such an outsider. Standing there in right field, I started making up an angry punk song in my head, and I went home and wrote, like, 20 songs in a row. I realized it didn't even matter if I knew how to play guitar yet." -John Frusciante
