I got a behringer multigate for \ufffd30 on sound on sound classifieds and its 
perfect for the sid..

I use two other channels for my turntables to stop the humm when i'm not 
using them.. I don't even have it in my rack. I found that the sid's noise 
floor is low enough that quite a low threshhold cancels all the anoying buzz 
without affecting the punch, so i just leave it on an insert and out of 
sight..

The multigate (and most other gates/compressors) have key inputs, which 
alows you to gate the incoming signal with an external source.. so i guess 
thats your trigger effect.. I don't think you get that on any pedals, and 
you won't get four boss pedals for \ufffd30 ;-)
