AMT Incinerator NG-2 — noise gate pedal

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

The device IS NOT a copy of any known device. AMT engineers used their own technical ideas and their own approaches to solving the problem of noise suppression of the guitar signal.

► INTRODUCTION

The AMT Electronics engineering team is pleased to present a new product — the compact AMT NG-2 noise reduction pedal.

The second version, as a further development of the AMT NG-1 noise gate device, which became a hit from the very beginning, retains a tendency to minimize the control of the device. There is only one single handle!

However, this is more than enough to ensure the main task for which the new device is developed: to suppress noise as delicately as possible in those places of the audio signal where it is really required, while in no way affecting and «not eating up» the original useful signal.

In comparison with NG-1, the main changes of NG-2 affected the dynamic characteristics of the device:

1. The start time of the gate opening has been reduced from 40 microseconds to 11 microseconds, the full opening takes place after 50 microseconds, which, with adequate adjustment of the noise reduction threshold, completely eliminates the «jamming» of the signal attack (see Graph 1).
   
   
   
   So, thanks to this innovation, it is now possible to use the device not only in the formation of guitar sound: the AMT NG-2 behaves perfectly in the case of voice processing when working together with microphone preamps!
   
   
2. The gate closing time after a sharp signal disappearance has been reduced (from 130 ms to 80 ms), which more guarantees the absence of audibly noticeable noise tails when processing short jerky signals (see Graph 2).
   
   
   
   
3. The smoothness of expansion, relevant for processing long fading notes, has been increased. This preserves the natural dynamics of the signal and ensures that the noise gate is invisible (see Graph 3).
   
   
   At the same time, despite the increase in performance, NG2 retained the ability to process low-frequency signals without distortion starting from 20 Hz.

► FEATURES

• Small dimensions (Snickers size).
• Minimum of controls.
  
  The controls are represented by the most important noise reduction threshold level regulator. The device (Effect) is characterized by a quick response to the appearance of a guitar signal and automatic adjustment of the attenuation time. This eliminates nonlinear distortion on the one hand and allows you to quickly switch to the signal cut-off mode when the useful guitar signal disappears on the other.
  
  
• The ability to select the bypass mode – full signal transmission / full signal cutoff.
• The presence of a loop (SEND/RETURN connectors) for connecting «overload» pedals, preamps, etc.
  
  When the «overload» pedal or preamp is turned on in the loop, the detector is controlled directly by the guitar signal, and the controlled attenuator is located after the output of the preamp or overload pedal. Thus, the noise reduction level is set once and is effective for any overload pedal or preamp channel.

► NOTES

• If effective noise reduction is observed at the THRESHOLD handle position for more than 12-13 «hours», pay attention to shielding the guitar and grounding the equipment firstly, and then use the NG-2 noise reduction device.
• If spatial effects are used in a guitar track with a noise canceller (NG-2), they must be turned on after it (NG-2) to exclude «clipping» of reverberation «tails».
