I play my guitar through my computer mostly and as such have come across alot of unwanted rfi from the computer itself picked up by my pickups. I've tried alot of things to remove this such as faraday cloth over the computer, basically modifying and lining a small cabinet with copper foil(and earthing it) to put the computer in, power conditioner, pedal psu with isolated outputs and even an ifi silencer to break power to the soundcard and provide it with seperate power from the conditioner(there's more I've done I'm sure but can't remember what) and nothing has worked. Although this pedal isn't going to completely eradicate the noise it does a damned good job trying. I use the hiss setting(toggle switch down) and have the damp and threshold about 12 o'clock and the gate cuts perfectly and the hiss is massively quietened, it's basically working as a filter but doesn't seem to affect tone too much(I also have it set to bypass not buffer mode, pretty sure I have other buffered pedals on my pedal board and one pedal is on all the time so it acts as a buffer anyway). Straight out the box I managed to very simply get what I wanted from this pedal so I'm really impressed, I've replaced an ehx silencer with it and though that pedal would work fine without the pc's rfi it didn't work as well as I needed it to. The only thing I haven't really liked so far is the toneprint software. The interface is easy to use but I think the options could have been named better, it quite often didn't seem as straight forward as I'd have liked and found that I wasn't able to get as good a setup as the hiss option. I also found that the the pro guitarist toneprints didn't work for me at all, I couldn't get anything past the gate(and I stack pedals when possible, I had an overdrive set at mid gain going into a distortion pedal at near full gain going into a bass od pedal that I use as a kind of preamp). Not a major issue and as I'd only had the pedal for about an hour by then I was maybe doing something wrong. So far this is the 3rd noise gate I've owned and it is definitely my favourite. It works extremely well, has a ton of features on toneprint that you could take the time to learn about and hasn't affected my guitar tone at all. I would strongly recommend this pedal to anybody struggling with unwanted noise in their signal Review: Why does it have an on/off switch? 😍 - I have a Telecaster with a humbucker neck pickup and a Fender single coil bridge pickup. Having the humbucker highlights how noisy the single coil is. I don't have a lot of distortion just a touch of overdrive, now and then, so my noise issues are mostly with the guitar. I've researched noise gates and the TC Electronic Sentry and the Iron Curtain are both highly regarded. The Sentry tops the IC but at 3 times the price, is it worth it if the IC will do the job? And yes, it does. It works very well, no 50 cycle hum and no unwanted interference. However, one small quibble, when you play a note with a long sustain, eventually, the volume drops through the gate and there's the hum lurking in the background! This can be alleviated by adjusting delay nob, but you can't quite get rid of it. The Sentry has a hum setting and I wonder if that sorts this issue? There's some debate as to where to put it in the chain. As my noise source is the guitar I started with it at the front, but having tried it at the end I don't hear any difference, it works just as well. This is good because I can locate it with the amp. There's no point having it on my board because it's on all the time and I'm not going to be turning it on and off. Also it's a big pedal and takes up a lot of space. I'm 90% happy with the Iron Curtain, I may try a Sentry at some point but, I suspect it needs a lot more twiddling and can't be put in the corner with my amp. db ## Features - Speedy and effective noise gate reduces unwanted noise from your guitar signal - Easy to use 2-knob interface controls threshold and decay - All-analogue circuit for zero latency and no-noise operation - True bypass for ultimate signal integrity - Runs on 9V battery or PSU-SB DC power supply (not included) Power Supply Code TC039 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B077YRM62P | | Amperage | 0.02 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Noise Gate | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,578 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 1 in Guitar Noise Gate Pedals | | Brand Name | TC Electronic | | Colour | Black | | Controls Type | Knob | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (398) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04033653015264 | | Hardware Interface | HP-HSC | | Included Components | Only the main product, the Iron Curtain Noise Gate, is included. | | Item Dimensions | 13.2 x 7.4 x 5.8 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 13.2L x 7.4W x 5.8H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Iron Curtain Noise Gate | | Item Weight | 0.4 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Music Tribe | | Manufacturer Part Number | P0CQ9 | | Model Name | PUERTA DE RUIDO DE CORTINA DE HIERRO | | Model Number | IRON CURTAIN NOISE GATE | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer. | | Signal Format | Analog | | Sound Profile | Noise reduction, maintaining original tone | | Style | IRON CURTAIN NOISE GATE | | Unit Count | 1 count | | Voltage | 9 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TC Electronic - **Colour:** Black - **Item weight:** 0.4 Kilograms - **Product dimensions:** 13.2L x 7.4W x 5.8H centimetres - **Style:** IRON CURTAIN NOISE GATE ## Images ![TC Electronic IRON CURTAIN NOISE GATE Ultra Fast and Efficient Noise Gate with 2-Knob Interface - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51h0VJS5QUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works, very well *by D***D on 27 November 2020* Wowsers, this pedal works.

Toneprint is a wonderful feature to use. For best results you need to run your guitar into the input, then in the loop run everything ahead of the power amp, then return into power amp. This allows you to filter the noise far better and get less drop off in the signal. The input on the front end gives the clearest trigger to control things. Just running a dirty noise into the front of the pedal, and expecting it to come out unaltered except hiss taken out doesn't work - well it does, but it sounds heavily manipulated. So my signal chain goes: - GUITAR - SENTRY INPUT - SENTRY LOOP OUT - ALL PEDALS VIA BOSS ES-8 - INTO PREAMP - PREAMP OUT INTO PEDALS VIA FX LOOP - LAST PEDAL IN FX CHAIN INTO THE SENTRY LOOP IN - OUTPUT INTO AMP FX RETURN This way you can really control the trigger and separate the dirty noise from the noise you want. Great product if you have a noisy signal chain due to too much gain. Obviously won't fix earth loops ## Frequently Bought Together - TC Electronic IRON CURTAIN NOISE GATE Ultra Fast and Efficient Noise Gate with 2-Knob Interface - SONICAKE 6 Inch Guitar Patch Cable Guitar Effect Pedal Cables Noiseless 1/4" Right Angle TS Mono Cords for Effect Pedals Black 6 Pack - BOSS Ge-7 7-Band Eq Pedal, Compact Eq Pedal with 7 Bands of Adjustable Eq Sliders --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/60776868-tc-electronic-iron-curtain-noise-gate-ultra-fast-and-efficient](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/60776868-tc-electronic-iron-curtain-noise-gate-ultra-fast-and-efficient) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
