Hello 7 and 8 stringers out there! I'm having a strange interaction between low palm muting and the noise gate.
For the rigs with high gain that I use, in nearly all of them appears a lot of high-gain hiss (which I think its normal). This is no problem though, as the front panel Noise Gate set to 4 or 5 is enough to take all the hiss away ( I dont like the gate pass 7 as it degrades the attack ).
When palm-muting for instance, a low B or mostly notorious on low F#, you can hear that the noise gate is interacting with the very-lows, and kind of kicking in and out. I have uploaded a sample so that you can hear it yourselves and tell me if this is a normal behaviour with your guitars or there's something wrong with mine.
In the sample you can hear the noise gate kicking in and out. Then I also deactivate the front panel noise gate and there you can hear the noise, but not the same "frfrfrfrfrfrfrfr" noise with previous the palm mutes. Finally I turn the gate up again so you can hear the issue another time.

Please tell me if your high gain monstruous low palm-mutes also sound like that !
Thank you all in advance!!
