The Rocktron Hush Super C has been a great addition to my guitar rig. If you are going with a stereo, dual amp rig with stereo delay/reverb, etc., this one is a must. It has two parts - a noise gate, and a hush.

Knowing how to use each part is paramount to getting the best result out of this rack unit. The noise gate works like expected.though the hush noise reducer is a secret weapon for medium to high gain settings. The unit can be abit challenging with multi-channel amps, but a happy medium can be found.Anyone buying this MUST know that the tone improvements occur at a distance.this is important. This unit is primarily made for live performances, and for the listeners who aren't standing 10 feet in front of your cabinet or combo. The noise gate will take care of buzz and what-not, and meets the definition of a good product by itself for this purpose. The HUSH is only appreciated at moderately cranked volumes.

Put your amp on a medium to high gain setting and set the volume at levels you'd use in a medium- to large-sized club. Keep the HUSH Super C off and play a typical crunchy mid- to high-gain riff, standing a good 25 feet or more from your cab. Now engage the HUSH (with HUSH level about 9 or 10 o'clock - don't worry about the noise gate for this test). Play your riff again. It's like someone cleared the crud out of the line from your amp to your speakers.suddenly they're more direct, cleaner, and your tone just shines through.

It cleans up even the mildest of chaotic noise that can come out of your amp/guitar. Without doing this test with a live-level volume, you'll probably find that the HUSH is no different from any other noise reducer, and you'll feel like you wasted your hard-earned cash.I use the HUSH with a stereo setup of 2 Carvin V3 amps running through Marshall 1960BV cabs equipped with Vintage 30s. Good stuff.get one if you play live frequently. Not satisfied i bought this in hopes that it would efficantly get rid of feed back without killing my tone, and i have to say it is not worth the money that i spent on it. I bought this in hopes that it would efficantly get rid of feed back without killing my tone, and i have to say it is not worth the money that i spent on it. I only own two noise reduction units this and the boss noise supressor, while im not very happy with with the boss version i still think thats it is better than the roctron. The rocktron unit really didnt help get rid of feedback at high volumes at all unless i turned the controls way up even then there would be feedback for a couple of seconds until the unit actually reacted and killed the signal.

Another complaint is that this unit killed my amps reverb completley. Overall, its not worth the money.

Good stuff.get one if you play live frequently. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I have an INCREDIBLY loud amp (Peavey Triple XXX), and I really needed a hush processor to eliminate bad feedback, yet retain the good kind (i.e.

Like live bands using feedback to make an entrance, not annoy the audience). I had decided on Rocktron because of their reliability in the past. Best decision I made for effects by far. Also, when I fed it through my effects loop, I turned the 'hush' dial to about 12 o' clock and it really brought out the heavy tone of my amp without thinning it at all. Get this effects processor. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: For one there is on power switch its either plug it in or not.

Also the power cord is the old skinny cord connect to a huge power cell at the end - come on jut give a a plan power cord. On the bright side it cleans up a lot of noise and elimites feedback according to your setting. All noise gates will cut into your sound - this one does a fairly decent job of cleaning the sound without killing the sound you gunning for. I am kind of hard on reviews but this if fair. No power switch - weak power cord - great sound cutting - good looks - over priced.

Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I can only compare it to the programable noise gates in my Digitech RP1000 & in my old ART SGX2000 pre-amp processors. The Roctron stand alone Noise Gate is far superior.and its nice to be be able to adjust the threshold & release on the fly without going through presets.different guitars, room acoustics.its like an EQ.you have to be able to adjust it quickly.

Simple, effective and intuitive. A piece of hardware is better than any software. At one time I believed the programable ones that came with the multi effects units would suffice. Nope.this is the way to go.

I am cheap.so yeah it'd be nice if was half the cost, but after using it you forget it set you back $$$.because it is worth it. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I've purchased the Hush C on two occasions ('03,'08) and I can honestly say that it is one of the single most important pieces in my rig.

Technically it's only a 'noise gate', but somehow it actually ADDS to your tone! I think a lot of people out there have never really been able to hear what their amps sound like without all of the hiss and hum and if that's the case you should grab one of these right now. You'll have way more 'control' of your rig and at the end of the day you'll be able to hear a lot of subtle little things that all of the hiss and hum have been covering up since day one.

Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I bought this and hooked it up to my marshall half stack. For one there is no power switch, its plugged in and its on or its not plugged in. Also the plug is the old stringy cord with a brick on the end for a plug in - come on this a rack unit, I want a straight up standard cord.

It cuts into the volume to much and changes the sound to the point where I dont use it unless I am playing at very high volumes. So maybe I need to play around with it but for the price there seems to be some quality lacking. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: There is always room for improvement (though I don't know what I'd recommend to Rocktron) so I gave this a 9/10. I play in a Deathcore band, and this thing handles all the gain I can throw at it.

Some of the other reviews scared me because they said it 'sucked all the gain out.' From what I've seen this thing only helps my tone.

I've only played with this thing for about half an hour, but it's extremely easy to adjust and tune in. I see no reason to buy a more expensive model. I gave the unit an 8/10 because while it does everything I ask of it very well I can only assume there is a reason for 'good' sound gates to cost three times this price. As far as asthetics and performance this unit does everything as advertised.

Just a simple sound gate with a threshold knob, and a Hush knob that seems to brighten all the best frequencies. Since I am completely satisfied with the money I paid for this I'm giving this a 5/5 on value.

I can't think of a reason to spend so much more on 'the best' sound gates when this one does everything I need. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I play one of the OLD dual rectifiers, and although the tone is simply AMAZING, it hums and buzzes like you would not believe. Right out of the box and only a few tweaks I had my amp completely silent when cranked. Now, I'd be lying if I said it didn't affect my tone at all, however the difference is so slight that it doesn't really bother me too much, and I'm VERY critical of my tone. This is definitly something that will remain a part of my live rig for years to come. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: Ok, I have lots of noise gates, suppressors, etc. This one works the best. Willys Jeep Cj3b Serial Numbers.

I use tons of gain. It completely kills all unwanted noise and doesn't change my sound. To the guys who say it does, read the manual. And to the ones who complain about no on/off switch, again read the manual. There is a bypass switch. If you turned it off you wouldn't get signal through.

Try unplugging your boss pedals and taking the batteries out. It's the same thing. It won't work while off. I do however agree that the power chord sucks. A smaller one would work much better. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I just received my Rocktron Hush Super C and I couldn't be more happy. It does exactly what I wanted it to, and that was to get rid of all the feedback and hizzing when I wasn't playing.

I play through a Randal Warhead and the thing is practicaly on fire. After our band played tonight, our stops sounded perfect by adding that needed silence when I quit playin.

It has really tightened up my playing too. A must if you have a noisy amp like I did. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I own a randall half stack which doesnt have the highest gain but i have a fairly large rack system including optical big bottom, sonic maximizer, eq, compressor, gate, wireless, and it creats alot of hum. Reading that lamb of god uses one of these i decided to try it out and i coulndt be happier. It kills most of that annoying loud hum and that hiss that shows up when i turn my amp up to 11. Its a nifty piece of equipment, but i do think it could be priced lower so i gave it a 8 on value.

Good job rocktron!

Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-07-16 05: I am looking at purchasing either an M13 or the POD X3 Live. Not being a MIDI geek, I am wondering if the MIDI capabilities of either Line 6 unit I mentioned can be used to control amp switching functions (switching channels on the amp, engaging.disengaging effects loops, boost, etc.). I have a Carvin V3 head, which is MIDI switchable. What I am looking to do, for example, is be able to configure presets or scenes that include all the given effects (Line 6) and amp (Carivin V3) configurations I want, and by pushing one button, being able to switch presets or scenes and amp channels via MIDI.

Is this possible, or would I need to purchase a separate MIDI controller to do this? Thanks, and a quick response would be greatly appreciated since I need to make this purchase very soon! Joel Honea Arlington, TX. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-07-16 14: Thanks Perry. You and I spoke on the phone today, which was very helpful. I have looked at both the Voodoo Lab Ground Control ($399) and the Behringer MIDI controller ($149) since we talked.

The Ground Control is definitely cooler, more versatile, and has a smaller stage footprint, but is pricier. The Behringer, by what I can tell, should do the trick. The V3's switching functions are all either MIDI or analog/relay, and the Behringer has both (two 1/4' jacks for relay switching, if that's the way I want it). I just have to decide now if I want to spend the extra $250 for the Ground Control. The M13 and the Ground Control actually appear to be similar in size, which would allow me to either put them side-by-side at my feet, or just keep the Ground Control at my feet and have the M13 back at my rig in a rack drawer or something. Ain't gear shopping fun???

I could do it all day long! Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching?

By on 2009-07-22 04: I believe if your amp has midi learn capability or you can select which midi program change selects which channel on your amp the M13 will work now to select a channel when you select a scene. In other works assign clean channel to Program Change #0 and when you select Scene 1C on the M13 it will select this channel, assign your 1st gain channel to Program Change #1 and when you select Scene 1B on the M13 it will recall this channel. It worked with my H&K Triamp MKII.

This was just not enough capability for me. Another thing to watch out for when hooking up things is the M13 only had a Midi Out not a Midi Thru so it will only send midi info on whatever Midi channel you have selected on the M13. Hope this helps in some sort of way. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-08-04 07: I don't understand why this WOULDN'T work.

What you would theoretically need to do is. The V3 stores all of it's 'settings' for the FX loops, boost, and channel switches in it's own midi patches 1 - 99. If the M13 sends a patch change when switching scenes *which i think it does* i have no clue why you couldn't also change the patch on the V3. There is no way to control FX loops on/off or the boost through midi on the v3, but if you were okay with just having switchable 'presets', you still might be in luck. I need to find a M13 to test this on.

Anyone else tried? I can help people with how the M13 and V3 SHOULD be able to interact if anyone has this combo and wants to try. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-08-04 09: Hi, I have to agree with sdconvoy on this. From what I have tested with the M13, and the nfo provided in the V3 manual, I believe that you can get it to do what you want with the V3. Here's what it WONT do: Assigning a particular footswitch or footswitches on the M13 to change amp channel, loop, or boost on the V3.

There are ways to get it to do that, but it's not worth the trouble of the getting the extra gear to do it, programming that gear, and implementing it into your setup. The Ground Control will do this, and change scenes on the M13 I'm sure.

Here's what it WILL do: The M13 DOES send out a program change when you switch a scene in latch or momentary mode. Scene 1 = program change 0. Scene 2, = program change 1, etc. See below: Basically, the Val column is the Program Change number sent when you select the Scene in the info column. You should be able the go into the program mode on the V3, do the appropriate steps, and then change the scene on the M13 where the manual says '3.) From your MIDI controller, select (send) the MIDI patch number you wish to save' Just make sure that the M13 and the V3 are setup on the same MIDI channel. The M13 will do all 16 channels, but it looks like the V3 will do channels 1-3. The only problem that I see would be that you couldn't use scene 1 on the M13 since it sends 0, and the V3 programs start at 1.

I'm not trying to argue who's right or wrong on this, and if you are happy with the Ground Control, and it works the way YOU want it to, more power to you. But I think if you experimented with this, and it actually works for you, you could save some money for more gear:-) In any case, good luck with your setup. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-08-05 11: I have the exact described setup: i.e. A Carvin V3 with a M13 for effects.

The M13 in scene mode is used to switch the channels /loops /boost. The V3 only accepts program change MIDI messages and that's exactly what the M13 gives out (just program changes.) It works without any problems, just make sure to program the V3 as mentioned in the V3 manual: set everything (loop / boost) up the way you want it for a scene. Go into 'V3 program mode' on the amp and step on the scene you want to store it under. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-08-06 01: 'You are saying that If I change scenes, it should also switch my amp channels, boost function and so on. Assuming that I have the V-3 set up right.'

'But it will only work if you are changing scenes?' The V3 only responds to PC's, and the M13 sends PC's only when changing scene's.

MIDI section: 'I guess it is easier to use my footswitch than it would be to change scenes.' Well, if you use the M13 in 'latch scene mode' (like I do during gig's) you'll have 12 different presets, that's enough for me. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-08-06 14: 'do you use the 4 cable method with the M13?' I use a multi cable (4 pairs) wich has the send, return, out and midi on it.

'how does the V3 play with the M13?' I don't use that many effects on my rhythm settings, just some reverb and compression.

There is no noticable unwanted colouring or loss in dynamics. But on the other hand I play in a rockband and with a drummer, singer, bassplayer and an other guitar player. Who will notice? When playing live I have the cabinet miked and have the sound coming back from the PA guy's through the floormonitors. So 'sound' is much more a matter of quality microphones, monitors etc.

'do you use any of the od / boost models on the m13 in front?' Yes, mostly some compressor and on the clean channel I use a preset with a screamer. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching?

By on 2009-08-07 02: Thank you very much, I will give it a shot. I didn't understand what you meant by Latch mode, so when I got off work yesterday morning I messed with the M-13 for a while, and figured it out, Actually even if I can't use it to change channels on the V-3 I will probably run it in latch mode anyway. I didn't realize that you could set it up to have basically 'patches'. I've always used it just like a pedal board, and I've done some fancy footwork onstage that wouldn't have been at all necessary had I known about the Latch mode. Again thanks for helping me to understand a little bit about MIDI, and for showing me something that makes the M-13 even better than I thought it was. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching?

By on 2009-08-07 08: You only have to use one MIDI cable: from the M13's MIDI out (M13 will SEND program changes) to the V3's MIDI in (V3 will RECIEVE the PC and will use it to do whatever you have programmed on the V3 when it recieves this PC.) Frank, can you outline the steps you took? I tried some things last night, and couldn't get the V3 to switch when I changed scenes. First, how do you set the MIDI channel that the M13 sends on? Here's what I did: - Created a scene on the M13 and saved it. - Went back into Scene Edit mode, then attempted to set up the MIDI stuff for amp channel 2 on the V3. - While the loop 1 light was blinking on the V3, I held down the C2 scene to copy (or save) it.

- Nothing happened on the V3. My guess is that I don't have the M13 set to send PC on the same channel that the V3 is set to receive PC on???

Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-08-07 10: 'Frank, can you outline the steps you took? I tried some things last night, and couldn't get the V3 to switch when I changed scenes' 'First, how do you set the MIDI channel that the M13 sends on?' Hold down the 'looper control' button to enter setup mode: In FX4 LCD it has an entry 'ch 1' or 'ch 2'.

Etc This is the MIDI channel it works on. If you only have MIDI connected between the M13 and the V3 (like I do) turn the dial 'till it reads 'omni' (it sends on all 16 channels). This way you don't have to worry about the MIDI channel on the V3:-) 'Here's what I did: - Created a scene on the M13 and saved it. Ok - Went back into Scene Edit mode, then attempted to set up the MIDI stuff for amp channel 2 on the V3.

Wrong - you're done with setting up the M13 Make sure you have the M13 in 'latch scene mode' (setup mode ->FX3 LCD ->knob 4 selects 'momen scene' or 'latch scene') Example: you want to associate scene 1A with the clean channel 1. Select a scene DIFFERENT than the one you want to use (you'll need to do this for the correct PC to send) 2. Set up the channels and/or loops and/or boost you want (V3 users manual) for example channel 3 3.

Go into V3 program mode, in our example hold down the CH3 switch on the amp and press the CH1&2 simultaniously once. If all goes well LOOP 1 LED on the V3 will start to blink.

Now press the scene (example '1A') you want to associate the set up (amp)channel with. The LED wil stop blinking and the V3 'memorizes' the channel settings for the M13 scene. Test it by selecting an other scene and an other channel: if all went well you should get CH3 on the V3 by pressing scene 1A.

There's some (basic) info (w/ video) on setting up the M13 on. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-08-07 17: Worked like a charm, Frank! Of course it helps if the MIDI cable is connected properly. I hadn't yet moved the M13's MIDI cable to the MIDI Out when I unplugged the Ground Control. So you, my friend, have done two things with your help here: 1) You've made Line 6 aware of a feature that they, apparently, were not aware of, and 2) I get to return my $399 Ground Control and get some other stuff I need! Everybody wins here!

Thanks a million. - The amp switching still works when you have the M13 in 'Momentary Scene' mode (as well as 'Latch' mode, but it means hitting two buttons (the Scenes button and then the button of the Scene you wish to select) instead of one. Sometimes that can be a pain in a live performance, but in Momentary Scene mode you have the advantage of being able to switch individual effects on and off.

I do this mostly just before starting a new song, if it needs a phaser as modulation instead of chorus.

But hey, that's the way I use it. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-09-22 04: 'Well, if you use the M13 in 'latch scene mode' (like I do during gig's) you'll have 12 different presets, that's enough for me.' Sorry to bump an old thread, but I stumbled upon it and it has answered nearly all questions I have about the M13 and MIDI control. I am looking to buy an M13 and Hughes and Kettner Trilogy and would like to control the amp channels and effects much like everyone in this thread. It's a long shot to ask if anyone has done this with this specific amp, though I saw someone is doing it with a TriAmp MkII which is promising; what I would like to know is when you have your 12 Scene 'presets' like in your picture, can you change channels on the amp and choose to have either no effects turn on, or choose between one and four effects from the banks? I'd like to have just what you have 'Clean, Crunch, Lead and Ultra Lead' but also, 'Clean, Clean+Mod, Clean+Mod+Delay, Clean+Mod+Delay+Verb' etc.

Is that possible? Thanks in anticpation of you answers. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-09-22 15: Hello NetStar and welcome!

Is that possible? The thing I do is: I use the scenes as a sort of presets: I you look into the 'advanced user guide' for the M13 you'll see that if you change scenes the M13 gives out a MIDI program change command. If the H&K supports MIDI program change it should work. I can 'only' use 12 different sounds without stepping on some extra buttons. But if you want more. If you step on the 'scenes' button you get into the 'stompbox layout' of your scene and here you can do almost anything (as long as you dont want to change your channel on the amp). Hope this helps.

Best thing to do is see if you can get your hands on one and try it out. Whichis by on 2009-09-22 15: Thanks for the welcome. I understand what you're saying, mostly and I checked and yes according to the manual the H&K takes MIDI Program Change messages, which is excellent. What I don't understand is how you can set your scens up to turn select effects on once you've changed scenes. Is it as easy as leaving the effects that you want on, as you save/change the scene?

In all, this product looks more appealing every day with its 'hidden' 'pro' features. Thanks again. And I'm definitely making my own midi/audio cable! Great idea and much tidier than having half a dozen cables on the floor.

I don't suppose 5 Core cable exists; just in case I want to run the amp's footswitch too, does it!?

So you can us this. It's not that much thicker and you have enough 'spare's'. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching?

By on 2012-07-10 07: Thanks, Thats what I susppected.amp gizmo is too expensive for just amp switching feature, what about a moen? This can switch amps, but how can this interact with the M13? The M13 need to be inside one of moen loops or out? Will this work? I see it has no midi out. Looks like the amp switching is via regular 1/4 cable though.
