Hello MarshallJMP,
NS-2 eliminated my chatter and squeal problems which I couldn't solve in MP2 even after I changed the 611 Resistor. Now, When I open up some volume of my power amp, some hiss continues. Maybe as an obsession I like dead quiet amp. But I will try all possibilities thank you.

Hey GuitarBuilder,
Of Course, your rack unit is very good. But I refused to get another Gate unit when MP2 has one built-in for sometime.

Anyway, Even though having a satisfactory practical pedal board but a loop switcher missing, I love my MIDI controlled MP2 tied with TC Gmajor and other racks (Ampulator and Rocktrone Velocity) to play live.
I use % 75 Warm Hi Gain to play 80's Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. But somehow after my last show, our headliner extreme metal band musicians came to me while disassembling my self from the stage and asked what do I use when I play Deep Purple but sounds like Metallica Black Album.
So I will continue with my MP2 forever.

I share your love of the MP2  :thumb-up: >:D :metal: , These days I'm using Voice 5 Warm vintage mostly which doesn't need a gate.  But in the day (when I used to play more 80's stuff) my main rhythm patch needed a gate, but I found the MP2 gate fine (using fader setting and 25 threshold):Lead Patch (used to be my main rhythm patch)
Voice    9 Ultra High Gain
Drive    70
OD    100
Master    77
Comp    Out
Lo     +2
Mid    -6
Hi     +6
Pres    +6
100 Hz    0
170     +2
280    -6
470    -2
800    -2
1.3kHz    -2
2.2    -4
3.8     +2
6.3    -2
Wah    Out
Trem    Out
NR    In, Fader, Thres 25
Chorus    In Depth 100, rate 0.0
EffLoop    Out
The chorus adds a doubling short delay (Depth 100, rate 0.0), though this trick works better with the MP1, seems to flange a bit with MP2

I've been using the ISP Decimator ProRack G all this time, with none of the issues you mention.

Well I went trough a lot of noise gates and finally also ended up with the Prorack G, best gate I ever owned, not cheap but worth every cent!!

This is my video which I posted to another topic.

Now, as you can hear, there's no feedback, no hum nor chatter anymore during the rests of songs, as I mentioned before. Maybe its contrary to ''rack school'' I placed the Boss Noise Supressor outside of the case and 4 cables seem like octopus.But I am happy now.

rnolan:
Glad it's working for you  :whoohoo!: .  Is there a reason you put the NR/S outside the rack case ?  You shouldn't need to (just thinking of convenience here).  Rack school to me is have it all in 1 rack so easy transport/setup etc.  But hey whatever works, I used to hump around 2 Marshall heads, 2 cabs ADA MP1, Rockman X100, st chorus & digital delay pedals, A/B A+B switch associated wall warts and various cables   :facepalm: .  Now I have a rack, cab(s), midi pedal, so much easier....
