ok so I am supplying screen shots of the problem

here is the chain with MRecorder plugin capturing signals pre and post each instance of Equivocate.

and the level normalised results of the captures.

I am unsure why the mute/ gate occurs in the signal (see results marked in red)

Please note this chain produces no gating when the input signal is higher, ie increse gain before plugin chain.
