Within the modern guitar community, the Zuul® is the industry standard for noise gate technology. Here at Fortin, we are never, ever, going to rest on our laurels and are extremely proud to bring you the pinnacle of gating functionality for electric guitar – Zuul®+; the ultimate tool for signal control and gating.

The Zuul®+ takes everything that made the original Zuul® legendary and adds multiple new, essential, features. The first thing we wanted to do was expand the ‘Key In’ functionality (that makes the gate active after OD/Boost pedals, reacting to the pure guitar signal), Zuul®+ now boasts a ‘Key Thru’ (complete with ground lift switch), that eliminates the need to split the signal externally. We have also added all new Hold and Release controls that give you everything you need to ensure you have pristine gating response in your rig.

Gate - Adjusts how much level is required to open the noise gate and allow a signal to pass through.

Hold - Controls the time which keeps the gate open during brief pauses in the signal source.

Release - Controls the length of time the gate takes to change from open to fully closed when the hold time is over - the fade out duration. A low amount of release cuts the sound quickly, a higher amount gives a slower fade.
