Having the noise gate option built into the input block would leave more room for all the DSP options!

Put Gain in there too.

Speaking of the gate, it could really use a side chain input.

I’m bringing this up again because now we have a bulit in gate on the input blocks in CorOS 1.4.0 but it seems to be a very specific gate, similar to the adaptive gate. I wonder why it’s not just a threshold gate like in the NDSP plugins. From my experience, threshold gates work better with low signal while the adaptive gate tends to stutter when the signal fades out. Especially unpleasent with rolled back guitar volume on higher gain presets.
