Guitar Players: The single knob interface might be too complex for bass players
Yes! You’ll have to set things up differently for the application, however. One size does not fit all, and one setting doesn’t work with every style of playing.
Because this has been designed to work like the hardware Cockblocker: it’s been tuned specifically for guitar, and isn’t a “generic” gate. Besides, it says “cock” right on it.
“Sidechain” simply means the source that causes the gate to open and close. Normally a gate would just be triggered by the signal coming from the amp’s output. In high gain situations, this can cause misfires, and the gate could open unintentionally. The cockblocker works with your guitar’s direct signal to control the gate. Properly dialed in, when you stop playing, the amp goes SILENT.
Yes! This is the Cockblocker’s super power! You can use your guitar’s direct signal to clamp down on your heavy rhythm tracks quickly and accurately. You’ll save HOURS of editing time!
The Cockblocker can be used to stop noise, even on leads with effects. Just place it in this order: Splitter or DI signal–>Amp Sim–>Cockbocker–>Delay/reverb
