Noise Gate
In terms of guitar, what is a noise gate?
what does it do to the sound?
Generally speaking, noise gates are the last “effect” pedal in the line-up before the signal goes to the amp. They really don’t provide an “effect” to the signal other than filter out extraneous noise coming from the other pedals….such as a distortion or wah pedal. It takes the electron hiss out of the signals before they go to amp. They are very useful if you have the gain on your distortion pedal cranked. I said filter, but what they actually do is produce a series of wavelengths that cancel out the extra noise of the other sh!t on the pedal board……..much in the same way a hum-bucking pickup works for canceling out the annoying squeals or hums you get from a single coil pick-up. They provide a much cleaner signal from the guitar to the amp.

Writing letters to the “West” during Stalin’s regime is a criminal offence. According to NKVD documents, sending or receiving a letter can result in arrest without trial. For this offense, and other trumped up charged, millions are sentenced to Stalin’s Gulag of over 2000 prison camps. The survival rate is one winter.
In their home village in southern Ukraine, on a warm summer day in 1931, an entire family is arrested. Father Jasch Regehr, mother Maria (Bargen) Regehr and their six children are declared “enemies of the State” and sent into northern Siberia. A space 5′ X 5′ in a three-story barrack becomes their new home. From this space they write letters to their family in Canada.
Little Lena is on her knees, leaning over a rough wooden trunk. Her hair falls over her eyes – the ribbons too torn to hold the blonde strands. She tries to focus. The noise distracts her and her baby brother bumps her elbow. The pencil is dull and the thin paper tears easily. “Dear Aunt Liese” … two men below her are fighting and her father is coughing. “I really do not like writing letters. Our Papa is so sick he can no longer get up. If our dear Papa should die what will become of us?”
What is happening? Where is this little girl? Why is she in this noisy, crowded place writing on a wooden trunk? Why is her father so sick? Where is Aunt Liese?
When she is arrested with her family for crimes against the state in 1931, little Lena is only nine years old. But she too is guilty and sentenced to prison in Stalin’s Gulag.
Some of Lena’s surroundings appear ordinary – almost “normal”, but this is another normality that is far more unpleasant. Lena’s prison camp has a doctor, a store and post office. But behind the façade of normality, Lena and her sisters scavenge for potato peelings in the garbage heap behind the officers’ quarters. Prison guards read her letter which can only be sent to locations inside the Soviet Union. Wherever she walks, she is watched by guards with dogs. The doctor (if he agrees to see her) does not practice the Hippocratic Oath.
Yet leaning over the wooden trunk in the cramped barrack, her three-year old brother bumping her arm, Lena writes a letter to Aunt Liese. The large, carefully crafted script of a young child bears witness to Lena’s age. At nine years old, her childhood innocence has been shattered. Her father is dying and she is hungry. Her “school” is not like those in her home village. These are the “schools” where the children of imprisoned kulaks are re-educated; where a new ideology replaces their former values; where the NKVD (Soviet police) monitors every move. It is in this school where Lena is refused food while she watches privileged children eat. It is here that Lena is questioned: Do your parents criticize communism? – Do they write letters? – Who do they write to? – Do they pray? It is in this place that Lena and her classmates are told to bid farewell to their mothers who are accused of heinous crimes.
Although Lena was released from prison camp with her surviving siblings in 1956, she was only liberated in 1989 when she left Russia. With her husband Jacob Dirksen, her daughter Ludmila, and two granddaughters she finally lives in freedom in Cologne, Germany.
Lena’s Letter (1931)
Dear Aunt Liese,
I really do not like writing letters. Our Papa is so sick he can no longer get up. If our dear Papa should die, what will become of us? How sad that would be. He just cannot sleep during the night. Tina and I go to school and it is so far to walk. For those that pay, the school provides 1 meal a day — 100 grams of bread. For supper we have porridge and mushrooms and tea, without bread or sugar. Today, in the store, they actually had flour and sugar for sale. Our Tina went to the Soviet very early this morning and earned 1 litre milk. Now maybe we can cook rice soup, and that tastes so very good. Write me a letter too. Greetings and a kiss from your dear niece, Lena Regehr
Ruth Derksen Siemens is a first-generation Russian Mennonite who grew up in Vancouver. She spent many spring and summer months at her grandparents’ farm in Yarrow (in the eastern Fraser Valley region of British Columbia). Here she was immersed into the ethnic culture of a replicated Russian settlement. As a pre-teen, she moved with her family from Vancouver to another Mennonite village. Arnold was a retreat into European Mennonite customs, rituals and language. Music was her first passion and career choice, but a longing to understand language and its rhetorical uses directed her to return to university. Ruth is now an instructor of Rhetoric and Writing at the University of British Columbia, a researcher and historian. Her primary research has been conducted in the field of rhetoric and discourse analysis in an English Department, but her interest in historical documents and their linguistic implications remains dominant. Her PhD in the Philosophy of Language from the University of Sheffield (UK) investigates letters written from the former Soviet Union (1930-38) by Russian Mennonites, many of whom were imprisoned and died in Stalin’s Gulag.
Her publications include both refereed and non-refereed articles, anthologies, and books. A one-hour documentary Through the Red Gate, produced by Out To See Entertainment Inc., Vancouver BC, was released in Fall 2007. The first volume of letters, “Remember Us:” Letters from Stalin’s Gulag (1930-37) was launched in December 2007. A second volume is forthcoming.
