Amplifier Mute

The Amplifier Mute feature disables the output signal when the input signal registers below a specified threshold. It operates at the hardware level, and as such, can minimize or eliminate noise that is generated by the device itself, such as the popping sound that can occur when the amplifier is turned on or off. However, it does not provide the sophisticated control of the signal that the Noise Gate DSP effect provides, such as customizable attack, decay, and hold settings.
