Hi everyone! Is there any way to add an extra control to the gateway to adjust the time it takes for the first block’s noise gate to close? It’s very aggressive—even at 0%—when used with high-gain amps like the Neural capture of the Mesa JP2C. I used to use a Headrush Gigboard, and I could easily get a clean or lightly overdriven sound just by rolling back the volume on my guitar, because I could adjust how long the gate took to fully close. I’d really appreciate it if this were possible, as the cutoff is very abrupt—sometimes even noisy and unnatural. The only way around it right now is to turn the gate off, but then there’s too much noise. Thanks a lot!
