The Silencer is a compact noise gate and effects-loop controller with precise threshold, reduction, and release controls—ideal for taming noisy pedals, cleaning high-gain rigs, and creating silent switching setups. Read more.
The Electro-Harmonix The Silencer is a powerful, compact noise gate designed to tame unwanted hiss, hum, and buzz in high-gain setups. With Threshold, Reduction, and Release controls, it provides smooth, natural gating tailored to your playing dynamics. The dedicated effects loop allows you to isolate and silence noisy pedals without affecting the rest of your guitar effects setup.
The Silencer is incredibly flexible, quiet, and easy to dial in. Unlike harsh or choppy gates, EHX engineered this pedal to react musically, opening and closing smoothly so your dynamics stay intact. The effects loop makes it a problem-solver for noisy distortion and fuzz pedals—a must-have for clean stages, worship environments, and studio setups.
Since 1968, Electro-Harmonix has been known for innovative designs and expressive sound shaping. Their lineup—from Big Muff fuzzes to classic delays—has shaped modern guitar tone. The Silencer continues this legacy with a smart, modern utility tool built for real-world rigs.
Smart design. Clean signal. Built for demanding players.
