@monquixote - appreciate the thought, but I don't think these are made anymore. Only found one on Ebay at £132 which seems an unrealistic price.
@Drew_fx - the Zoom MS70CDR is a multi reverb/modulation/delay pedal. I'm after an effective but inexpensive noise-gate pedal.
So far the Behringer NR300 looks favourite to try and not much of a risk at only £16.99.
With regards to free noise gate, not really. This is around £80 compared to £16.99 for the NR300. The whole point of having stomp pedals is they are quick and easy to tweak on the fly and stomp on or off. If I want something programmable I have my Vox Tonelab LE.
However I was under the impression that this was a mature forum where there was mutual courtesy and respect. The 'your mummy and daddy' comment was uncalled for and completely out of line.
Hey mate, those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
I gave you a perfectly reasonable suggestion before, and you came back with sarcasm and a snide attitude with this:

How in goodness name you interpreted that as sarcasm and snide I have no idea - I would never be sarcastic & snyde to someone offering a suggestion..they were simply two short factual statements clarifying what I was looking for. And I also acknowledged that it was a nice pedal & that I took the time to check out your suggestion on you-tube - but it simply wasn't what I'm looking for at the moment.
Your interpretation and attitude is quite extraordinary and I am certainly not following your lead to name call you back. But your behaviour is out of order, pure & simple - whether you recognise and acknowledge that at all is up to you.
But on a lighter note, your avatar did make me laugh and anybody brave enough to put that up must have a sense of humour and can't be all bad!
And I will check it out as I said. But its around £80 and until I'm back in work the Behinger will hopefully be a cheap solution.

So, re the Zoom - is the noisegate one of the adjustable pedal options in the menu or is it just 'there' and works automatically in the background?
The problem is positioning of the Zoom in the chain - my current pedal order is Tuner, Boss CS3 compressor/Sustainer, Behringer To800 Vintage tube Overdrive, Marshall Jackhammer JH1 (or Guvn'r2) , Marshall Regenerator, Marshall Echo-Head, Boss GE7 EQ. If I substitute the EH1 and/or Regenerator for the Zoom, the EQ will be after the noisegate (it needs to be last in the chain). Whereas with a free standing noisegate I can put it in the best place ...the noisegate really needs to be at the end of the chain. Even if the Zoom has an EQ pedal, I need it to be separately switchable, so that wouldn't solve the problem.
I do like the muteable tuner...my Boss TU12H doesn't have that as an option.
This is an old pic of my pedal-board - the To800 Vintage Tube Overdrive is now after the CS3 and before the GV/JH1:
Interesting, thanks for that - it's clearly a clever piece of kit and I've seen that it does have an EQ too. But I thought the noisegate needed to be at the end of the chain rather than the front - or have I got that wrong?
I put the pedalboard in front of the amp. If I put the Zoom in place of say the Regenerator or even both the Regenerator & EH1, how could I best position the zoom so that the noisegate is catching everything, and easily toggle between delay and modulation or have both on at the same time without having to bend down to press the menu scroll. As I said, it sounds a brilliant all-in one pedal for home use but I'm struggling to see how I can best integrate it into my pedalboard for ease of use at a gig?
