The Lone Wolf Harp Shield is the only noise gate that I'm aware of that is harmonica specific.

Before you rush out and buy one though, I'd ask yourself the following questions.

Why do you want a noise gate?
Are you aware that all a noise gate does is stop feedback when you're not playing?
Are you aware that it doesn't stop feedback when playing?
Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to use a mic with a volume control or on/off switch?
Would it not be easier and cheaper to get the band to play a little quieter?
Is your harp also in the monitors? If so that will make feedback a lot more problematic.

If you have feedback problems when playing, you may need to look at your cupping technique, tone settings and amp placement. This may cure the problems you are encountering.

If you want a device that kills feedback more when you're playing, you might be better off with the Kinder AFB+

Hi, a few weeks ago I bought Rocktron Guitar Silencer.
It has two kindes of antifeedback: "noise gate" and "hush". It works pretty nice.
Check this out :o)
Warm regards
