Noise gate

[Rigel]

Hello guys! While I was building the booster on this forum,i came up with an ideea:what about a noise gate that consists of transistor switching??I mean:when the gate receives signal from the guitar,it switches a transistor on and allows that signal comming from the collector pass trough the emiter.Also,there can be added a Treshold pot.Look what I tought about:

If you guys manage to do something for equaling the input output voltage please let me know.Thanks!

I think that's doable! lol but only that.. I'll wait till some more experienced guys come here

You can't use an AC source directly as a means of determining volume, it's constantly swinging positive and negative. I wouldn't trust your circuit simulator too much with this!
