Some pedals will also add noise so you can also run them through the noise gate of the FX loop but, if your gate is at the input if your amp and you have no FX loop then everything for you will be suppressed. That is great is you just want to play clean, driven, or distorted. You start having issues if you want to use an external delay/reverb or any other pedal that you do not what to shut off early. Almost all higher end amp heads come with 0 built in effects like mine for example, so what happens is the suppression pedal would cut off that delay or reverb once a string is muted and to get around that you do not include that in the suppression loop. It turns into a puzzle lol. So for my signal chain I have something like this: Guitars - DI BOX - ABY pedal - Input of Boss NS2 - NS2 send to Peavey 6505+ head input - FX loop send - EQ pedal - Flange - NS2 return - NS2 send to DD7 Delay - RV5 Reverb - FX loop return - Marshall MX412A cab - Shure Beta 58 - MG12XU Mixing board I use the DI box to send the signal to a mixing board that runs into Rocksmith, the ABY is used for if I just want to play on my smaller practice amp.

Put the clamp after the OD in your chain. My guess is it is just the way you have the pedals ordered up in your chain. I have an NS2 but they all do the same thing, take a look at this image. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jzjE-b2eu5k/URTEs_KxoQI/AAAAAAAAATY/ZV5onYm-v7o/s1600/4.pnghttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jzjE-b2eu5k/URTEs_KxoQI/AAAAAAAAATY/ZV5onYm-v7o/s1600/4.png

It is nothing to do with the amp, it is that inital opening of the noise gate. What is your signal chain? Are you running the suppression pedal in an X configuration with the FX loop of the amp?
