The Release knob controls how long it will take the gate to close once your signal drops 

below the level determined by the Threshold knob. The Release control changes the overall 

“feel” of the way the Gatekeeper responds to your playing style. For most applications, 

the fully counter-clockwise setting of the Release control is most desirable. This position 

provides the fastest overall performance, closing the gate instantly when you stop playing. 

As you turn the Release knob clockwise, the time it takes the gate to close increases. This 

setting gives players a looser feel that extends the window of opportunity to keep the gate 

open between notes as well as a smoother, more gradual gating effect.

The Mute LED turns on when the signal has fallen below the threshold needed to keep the 

gate open. When the Release knob is at maximum, the pedal will mute shortly after this light 

comes on. When the Release knob is at minimum, the pedal will mute immediately when 

the light comes on.

The Gatekeeper Micro requires a negative tip, 9VDC power supply. 

The Gatekeeper Micro does not take batteries. The current consumption is under 20mA.
