Defeating wireless guitar 'breathing'....

[John Egerton]

Hey guys, just a quick question....

I've recently built a simple transmitter which sucessfully transmits my guitar playing to my amp, however, as predicted, breathing occurs when a distortion or overdrive pedal us used as the silent background noise is amplified.

I was wondering if it could be possible to defeat this with a noise gate, either before or after the wireless circuit?

Thanks in advance...

I expect you want the noise gate before the fuzzz/distortion.

Here you go... I got it here, it's pretty simple too!

Hope this helps...

I plan to put this as a feature in my super guitar that i'm building... I promise everyone that I'll do a detailed write up about the thing, complete with pictures when it's done...

The wireless transmitter will be placed inside the guitar and can be bypassed with a switch to allow normal cable connection.

Hey that's really cool! What do you use for a receiver?

I guess an NE571 at each end would make it too complex/expensive?
