My experience with the BOSS NS-2 and MXR Smart Gate is enough for me not to recommend them. Personally, I've never really had any need for noise gate on my board. If you need anything more substantial than what those two pedal can give you, then you should probably take a look at the TC Sentry and stop messing around with bargain bin pedals. It's pretty much between EHX and TC at this price point. The Behringer has a spotted reputation, and the BOSS is twice the price. Most start out well north of the advertised price of the Iron Curtain-$50. Looking at budget noise gate pedals, you won't find many. This isn't necessary, but it is a noted loss when comparing these very related pedals. The BOSS and Behringer pedals both feature an effects loop. I'm not saying that they aren't up to par, but some of the features don't make to the final product. Like we saw with the 3rd Dimension, TC pedals aren't always direct copies. Basically taking Behringer's game and raising the bar. They are pretty much taking some of the most successful circuits and stilling them in rugged boxes. Here come TC and they look like they are upping the ante. They are still producing cost-effective stomp boxes that are nearly identical to their BOSS brethren. So Behringer put out direct BOSS clones for a long time. I'll get into that in a second, but now we will take a closer look. When I first heard of the people, I thought it was something different. By now, we know that TC is putting out a huge number of pedals that should look familiar to anyone that has been around BOSS or Behringer effect pedals. Alright, I guess I'm going to to do all of these things.
