Proper way to use it is when running the gate through the effects loop. It requires that you split your signal. Most guys split it with a Boss tuner but I just use a regular splitter. Guitar into splitter. Output A from splitter into the key input of gate. Effects send from amp into muzzle input. Muzzle output to any time based effects such as chorus and delay then back into effects return or if running no time based effects, muzzle output to effects return. Output B from splitter you treat just like your front of amp signal into any distortions/boosts etc then into front of amp. This way you’re able to use a clean pure signal into the gate that’s not effected by your distortion/boosts. It gates later in the chain after your preamp. Less chance of it gating too early and cutting off your desired signal. You can leave it engaged all the time this way even when switching to your clean channel because your still using a clean in-effected signal. I’ll draw you a diagram when I get a chance and post it. This really is the way to go.
