I've been trying to setup a Gate block after my amp block, but the Gate keeps behaving strangely. Doesn't matter if I'm using an Axe-Fx model or routing outside the Axe and using a real amp and reactive load.
What happens:
1. Gate block placed after Amp block. Sidechain source set to Input 1 where my guitar is plugged in.
2. I play a few notes then abruptly stop playing, even quickly rolling the guitar's volume down to zero.
3. Gate activates so patch goes back to silence, but within a quarter of a second or so, the Gate will fully open for anywhere between a half second and two full seconds, then it will immediately close again after that until I resume playing.
This happens on all Gate modes, Classic, Modern, and Downward Expander.
Sounds like:
-notes, notes, notes, up to abrupt stop
-0.2 seconds of silence or so
-loud "SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" as the gate re-opens for a full second (I set my amps up with a lot of gain)
-silence again until I start playing
Gate block settings:
Place block after Amp block or after Input block where reactive load is routed back onto the grid, doesn't matter.
Set Attack, Hold, and Release fairly aggressively, anywhere 5 ms or under is what I've been doing.
Sidechain source: Input 1
couple examples in quick succession of some playing then rolling the volume down to immediately cutting off the last note before the gate reopens:
