Managing to make a noise gate sexy always impressive. Helix has built in gates so no rush for me to get a stand alone one but it still looks tempting lol.

I've heard good things about them in the revv fb group, but I don't personally have a need for one. My ISP decimator works just fine.

I’m actually in the market so I might grab one. The Mark IV is a little noisy and I love how good the gate is in the 120. Having a better version of that sounds like a win. And they managed to make it look pretty dang cool.

Top and side mounted jacks?

Aside, MXR have made me wary whenever a company advertises "Bright LED", so I make sure to have some tape ready.

Yeah MXR stuff is basically "turn on a mini sun" level bullshit. Messing with my DIY pedals the resistor value that affects the LED brightness as well as sanding the top of the LED has really helped diffuse the light. It's ridiculous to have this issue on a production pedal when it's not that much work to test different resistors with your chosen LED model and see how they look in the enclosure in well lit and dark environments.

The top and side mounted jacks thing isn't great as it now takes extra space on your board both horizontally and vertically. While that size enclosure doesn't have a huge amount of room, having two jacks side by side on each side should have been ok.

People dislike MXR LEDs? I love that I know my Phase 90 is on from 2 rooms away, at least compared to my TS9 where I can't see the LED when staring directly at it lol
