what is a good, cheap noise gate for use with a Tascam 488?

Forget noise gates, check out the Rocktron Hush C Silencer.

Are you already using the noise reduction on the 488?

yes using the dbx. Thinking more for tracking or will it not gain me anything?

You could get a 2" machine for 8 channels of that

Traditional gates or smart gates like the HUSH will help with buzzing and other noise from instruments or mixers, but it won't do anything for tape hiss that DBX isn't already doing.

I have various gates, including the HUSH IICX for line noise
