+1 Drawmer DS201. I also still have and use my DBX 904s.
Same as others, started with the Kepex then DBX in mid/late 70s. I used them on tour for many years for FOH. When I moved to the studio not to many guys were using them.
There are some really nice things you can do with them including get a real nasty gritty sound if you work the gain structure right. Let the grit on a guitar with sustain linger for awhile then bang, clamp it down.

BUT...bleed is your friend. More often than not i find that the best use for gating is on the FX send. Gate the send instead of the audio itself. Way more natural/

+1 on this.
