I'm using the Gt-1 for effects only after my preamps (AMT Bulava and Tech 21 RK5). I've set the gate first in the chain but it's not having any effect on the noise. Maybe the signal going into the GT-1 is just to hot? I'm not producing a huge amount of hiss, but it's there and I'd like to reduce it without having to put a separate gate on my board. Any ideas?

So it looks like the gate does not work on the actual input signal. Probably not important for most users but good to know.

The GT-1 Noise gate operates on the GT-1's self induced noise from the GT-1's internal effects ( Overdrive and Distortions)  - and not as effective for gating the noise from external gear (AMT Bulava and Tech 21 RK5)) feeding the GT1
