BACK FROM THE SIXTIES

The Redmere Soloist

Noise Gate

The real reason for having this board on the amp is to cover up all the noises generated by the other effects. It's not exactly a 'Feature'. The gate is switched in by the JAM signals from the Flanger, Sustain and Chorus boards and is a real pain if your playing quietly and forget to turn the Threshold pot right down.

The only change to later boards appears to be the addition of 'S-9-2' and '005 0050' to the track artwork.

BF244B FETs aren't made any more but a Fairchild BF256B (current production ) might do the job. Note that the source and gate pins are reversed on the Fairchild.
