well, i'm planning to buy a guitar multi-effect pedal,i would pay about 120$,
I quite like Line6 pedals but they are rather expensive!
my guitar is noisy so i want it with a good noise gate,
and i will use it to record some of my songs.
i heard that ZOOM effect pedal noise gates are not that good,
what do you suggest me to buy?



Answer
A Zoom is about the cheapest you'll get. Anything else will be 50% or more expensive. Might be worth investigating why your guitar is noisy (dirty pots, bad earthing etc.) before you go looking for a pedal to gate the symptom rather than cure the cause. Changing all the pots on your guitar would only cost $10 for parts (assuming 3 pots) and maybe a few bucks for a can of switch cleaner for the pickup switch.
