Is there any way to reduce its sensitivity, or better yet, get rid of it completely? I hate the way this thing cuts out my notes, I have the input gain turned up as high as it will go without distorting too much (it’s set to distort a little bit) and there’s still just not enough sustain. I’m playing a Stratocaster or a Jazzmaster, the Jazzmaster has hotter pickups so it distorts way more but only sustains a tiny bit better.

The Strat sounds great for more staccato lines, but it’s impossible to use for anything legato or sustained due to the gate. I assume the gate is there to preserve the synthlike qualities of the pedal – the opening gate sounds a little like a key being depressed, and hides any noise while you’re at it. However, I would rather have a pedal that I can trust to make noise when I want it to – it’s stressful recording a guitar track hoping that nothing cuts out at the wrong time, then having to start over when it does.

Any help would be much appreciated!
