Am I using my noise gate wrong?
So I originally had a Behringer noise gate pedal, didn't think it was working correctly, eventually upgraded to a Boss NS2.
I've put the pedal in the effects loop of my amps (a Bugera TriRec and a Blackstar HT20) and have had the same problem with both pedals. I have to have the threshold dialed up all the way to the left to get any kind of reduction and if I set it to mute mode, I get no sound whatsoever.
Am I doing something wrong here?

The best place for a noise gate is before the preamp, otherwise you already have that gain stage in place making your signal permanently above the gate threshold (or at least requiring the threshold to be set so high it is effectively pointless)
So run your noise gate first, so you can use the dynamics of the guitar, then the gain stage, with the other effects on the loop, then the output power stage.
