RE: [wiardgroup] Gate pedal?

<<I know that they make "mute" pedals for vocalists & guitarists ... it might be easiest just to wire up a 9v battery + resistor network to the input of one, and send the output to the appropriate gate input on the modular>> That's kind of what I'm thinking, based on the my peek at Grant's schematic for the Gate button on the joystick.
