Free The Tone INTEGRATED GATE IG-1N Noise Gate & Noise Reduction Pedal w/ MIDI Remote Control & HTS

Professional-Grade Noise Control Without Compromising Your Tone

The INTEGRATED GATE was born from a need shared by musicians and engineers alike—to tame pickup noise without sacrificing sound quality. As interference from computers, LEDs, mobile phones and wireless devices increases, unwanted hums and buzzes have become more intrusive than ever. Manual workarounds like volume pedals or quick fade-outs only go so far. This unit offers a smarter, more natural solution.

Digitally Controlled. Fully Analogue Audio.

Instead of digitising your audio, the INTEGRATED GATE retains a 100% analogue signal path while using high-speed digital control to manage output levels. This preserves your instrument’s dynamics and tonal richness—something traditional gates and filters often compromise.

Smart Signal Monitoring for Natural Decay

Conventional noise gates often produce abrupt or unnatural cut-offs, especially as string vibrations decay. Free The Tone’s advanced signal monitoring constantly analyses your playing in real time using a built-in CPU, adjusting the output with precision for the most musical and organic decay possible.

Dual Operation Modes

• Noise Reduction Mode: Gradually reduces volume when input falls below a threshold, keeping noise masked while maintaining natural note fade.

• Noise Gate Mode: Immediately mutes the signal below the set threshold—perfect for rhythmic or tight performance styles that benefit from crisp, gated stops.

Engineered for Pure Tone

The audio path is built entirely with high-grade analogue circuitry, tuned to perfection through extensive testing. The result is transparency and fidelity far beyond traditional gate or noise reduction units.

MIDI-Ready Integration

Control effect ON/OFF via MIDI for seamless integration with switching systems or MIDI Controller without needing to run the pedal in an effect loop.
