Hey guys,
I have been looking at the ISP Decimator for a long time.
I know a lot of guys really like it, according to reviews, but I wanted to get real opinions.
I use a DC-3 or DC-5, which are not that noisy, but I use a few FX and a boost or distortion pedal in front of the amp's lead tone for liquid sustain type leads.
Problem is, when we go into some kind of sustained part or end with some delayed guitar part, there is a lot of terrible hiss.
So....here are my questions:
1. What is the best pedal sized noise gate? It has to be small enough to fit on my pedalboard.
2. Is there a noise gate that will not kill my sustain? Think, Flying in a Blue Dream or Europa type sustain.
3. If you were to get the ISP, would you get the G-String or the Decimator?
I am leaning toward the G-String so that I can block out all distortion pedal noise before it even hits the amp.
Years ago, I had a Hush unit that I just couldn't get along with. It always killed my sustain or squashed my tone.
I basically want to be able to forget it's even plugged in and just enjoy the music!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
