You don't need a noisegate per se, you probably need to use less gain.
Cheap noise gate
hi, i would like to know what noise gate would be the best. I like to play in distortion but my amp always make a death feedback (really hurt my ears) and then one of my friend showed me a deluxe big muff fuzz pedal and it had a noise gate on it, the feedback was gone. Unfortunately, i dont have a really big budget, only around 75-100$ So, what do you suggest?

Are you using singlecoils in a room with fluorescent lights?
Humor me: what amp sim are you using and what is your gain set to?
Pretty much any "metal" setting on an amp similar to yours has the gain on the equivalent of 10 as soon as you hit 3 on the dial. Adding any tubescreamer type pedal with the gain past 2 and you are, indeed, in feedback hell.Gain is set to the half and amp sim is i think uk metal or us metal. Add a tube od effect and not much else
Turn your gain down, hear the magic happen.
Yeah, that's from too much gain and/or volume.
FWIW, the amount of gain in that video clip is appalling. There's no note definition.
Given the intro riff I'm not sure sludge was what he was after, but who knows. I only listened to the first 5 seconds and the feedback bit.It's called sludge, dude. Notice he's using a Dark Terror too; doesn't help with the definition. And that's not even so bad (relative to some stuff I've heard).
I know that some people go for sludge, power to them.
If you don't want screaming feedback yes - and given what the amp is, you don't want the master at max.
Get a more powerful amp. It will make your life easier.

They probably aren't practice amps.My master is almost always at max on every amp I play
The valve jr is not really a practice amp either - it barely does quiet.
Way too much weight IMO - head and 212 cab would be easier to deal with, and you can snag a 412 later.Yeah, right, i was thinking about a mesa roadster combo 100 watts
Fortunately for you mesa boogie master volume amps work quite well. I had a roadster halfstack next to a neighbour's new baby's room (townhouse).
Save up, buy an amp that does what you need it to do properly. Taking a honda civic to tow a 30ft trailer is probably possible, but not a good idea.
The amp you have is fine - just not for what you necessarily want.
