Has anybody else noticed that there seems to be an extra noise gate active in the distortion loop stomp? When I engage it , the notes don't sustain like they do without the distortion loop. Or am I doing something wrong?

Yes, from the wiKPA:
QuoteDISTORTION LOOP
When you use the Distortion loop a noise gate is automatically engaged. This doesn’t happen with the Mono loop or Stereo Loop. -
Thanks man! Didn't find that information in the manuals (reference and addendum).
So I will use the mono loop with my BK Butler Tube Driver. I could dial in some very Gilmourish sounds with the Tube Driver. However, the noise gate, that is engaged with the distortion loop, cuts off the sustain too obviously when playing single notes. -
Ah ! I've always been wondering where that noisegate came from on some of my rigs. Never noticed it was tied to the LOOP...

@ joerch: on the wiKPA (in my sig.) there're lots of suggestions about Gilmour's sound. Feel free to have a read
