Donner Mini Auto Wah Pedal Dynamic Wah Guitar Effect Pedal Envelope Filter True Bypass

I love these pedals! For the price they are pretty decent basic effects, and you can pack your pedal board and try swapping different effects and playing around with various sounds for the price of a couple of grocery runs. Once you have a soundscape you love, you may want to look for some higher end replacements for some of these pedals, but as a starting point, these are exceptional in terms of their performance to price point, and serve as the perfect place to start as you try to define your sound!The yellow fall specifically falls a bit short of my needs, and I have purchased the versa yellow fall 2 because tap is a necessity for my use case. However, If it’s being used simply to add some basic texture to the mix, it can be a valuable addition. It all depends on your needs.So far I have also tried the ultimate comp, the harmonic square, and the verb square in this series, and I am pretty happy with them! I have the versa yellow fall 2, the triple looper, and the stylish fuzz 2 on the way, and can’t wait to try them out!

5 stars BUT please pay attention to the power supply requirements. It’s not listed here but in the product insert, it states that a 9v power supply with at least 500mA should be used.I confirmed with Donner customer support that this standard of 500mA in most of their product inserts is required, regardless of what the Donner pedal product’s working current is listed as. They empathized this is especially true when using more than one pedal at a time.With that out of the way & ignoring the fact that most if not all of their power supplies only support at most two 500mA pedals at a time; this noise gate pedal from Donner is spectacular.With its range of settings, it cut out noise from a high end pedal I own without compromising the sound from the high end pedal. In fact, I didn’t even realize how much noise was there until the Noise K!ller removed it.A must for any pedalboardOut performs its weight, size, & price.

This sturdy little pedal came in a nice magnetically closable box with a quick but useful owner's guide and a couple cute Donner stickers (I believe all Rock 'n Roll goodies should come with a cool sticker! ;-).I play mostly hard rock and metal (a lot of that drop tuned D, Db, C and B). I was tired of getting almost instant feedback (in my setting - a small 12x14 room with a 40watt all tube Marshall DSL40). I don't like using the amp in Triode mode (reducing and cutting the output power in half). Needless to say, there was a lot of unwanted noise (and feedback) coming out constantly and almost instantly.Most of my 'effects' pedal plug straight into the front of the amp (first - last: Tremonti Dying Machine Way, Joyo Compressor, Tube Screamer Mini, and a Fulltone OCD distortion). I've patched this Donner Noise Killer along with my EarthQuacker Dispatch Master Delay/Reverb and volume attenuator pedals through the back FX Loop of the amp to get the most noise reduction without affecting the tone or the effects of the other pedals (besides which, this is a True Bypass pedal).As mentioned above, I use a JHS Little Black Amp Box 'Passive amp Attenuator' to cut back the overall volume output of the Marshall amp so I can turn up the Volumes to get into the sweet-spot of the amp itself without blowing my head or the roof off! Combined with the Donner Noise Killer pedal, these work perfectly to manage volumes and unwanted noises!The pedal has both a potentiometer Dial (ranges between -60 and +10db) and a Loud / Soft switch. I find it's happy place is switched into Soft mode (which Donner recommends for most playing styles in the leaflet/manual) and the Dial set just a tad below -40db. I had to play with this a bit to find the sweet spot where I still get sweet sustain and I'm able to kill the unwanted noises. As Donner designed, it's easy to adjust and I was jamming within a couple of minutes.There's just a little "pop" when stomping the the ON/OFF button that is audible through the amp. It's not terrible however. Besides, it on all the time now anyway. Not a concern...The difference in my setup/setting is like night and day concerning the ambient noise that's "killed" as well as the amount of feedback I cut out with this little guy! With it turned off, there's a definite buzzing noise coming out of the the amp. With it on, it's completely gone! With this on and set as described above, the amount of unwanted feedback is pretty much cut out while playing as well. Now there's plenty of time to palm-mute and turn down the guitar volume between songs.There maybe a better Noise Killer on the market. You might have a buy a few to find it. You'll probably be paying 3x the price as well and it'll be, more than likely, more cumbersome to dial it in.What's left to say? I'm satisfied with this well built Donner Noise Killer.Buy it! I bet it works for you they way it working for me.
