Pylon is primarily a noise gate (Actually it's the same noise gate that is built into the KMA - Guardian Of The Wurm) But it's not "just" a noise gate as you know it. Pylon packs some serious features under the belt, making it the best noise gate on the market. And that is at a very fair price point compared to the competitors.
Pylon is an ultra-fast high-performance Blackmer® VCA-based Noise Gate, with a smooth trigger, an integrated Boost section, an External Trigger Input for external bypass switching or Gate-triggering, a relay-based Channel Switcher for your amp, with a built-in Audio Transformer that helps enhance and balance your rig.
Due to PYLON’s IN/OUT and SEND/RETURN inputs, it’s capable of many different wirings to suit different setups. This includes the classic 4-Cable method that helps to tame those unwanted extraneous noises from your amp’s own drive sounds. You do this either via the amps own FX Loop or by connecting your dirt pedals on your board to the pedal etc. via the SEND/RETURN jacks.
At ADG we feel that noise gates are becoming an increasingly sought out tool for anyone who likes using a lot of gain, and the market is missing some alternatives at the moment. So we expect Pylon to do really well in sales.
