Banish the buzz, hum, and transient noises other units don't catch.

The Decimator guitar pedal offers a new approach to noise reduction processing. Most noise suppression systems suffer from one major problem inherent in their design: The system cannot be immediately responsive to very short-term staccato notes. The typical downward expander sound reduction system suffers from a dead zone in the release response characteristic that causes a compromise in tracking both fast decaying notes and long sustained notes. The Decimator pedal's design offers a novel approach to tracking the envelope of the input signal called Time Vector Processing.

Due to this novel approach in controlling the expander, the Decimator system will instantly respond to short staccato notes and, at the same time, will provide a very slow ripple free control of long sustained notes. The Decimator noise suppression system is very transparent delivering high performance.

The Decimator pedal by ISP Technologies is extremely easy to use; simply insert the Decimator at the end of your chain of existing pedals or, insert the Decimator Pedal in the effects loop of your amplifier to clean up the noise present at the amplifier input as well as the noise in the amplifiers pre-amp section. Packaged in a rugged, beautifully polished smooth chrome chassis, the Decimator pedal offers reliability, performance and beauty in one compact pedal.

Isp Decimator

I recently bought a boss ns-2, because I could not find an isp.. After playing with the boss, I found that it changes my tone and still leaves a lot of fuzz in the backround. I took the boss back and found an isp. When I took home the isp, I could not believe how good it worked. It gets rid of all the fuzz and leaves my tone exactly as it would without it. The isp hands down kicks the boss ns-2's ass.. it was one of the best desicions I made. The isp is the best noise reduction pedal out there. It doesnt change your tone, and gets rid of all the fuzz. Don't have any doubts about the pedal.. it is definately 100% worth the money.

I first found out about this Pedal from Johnny Hiland a few years ago. I bought it last year.

Although it only has one knob, it get the job done without killing an instrument's usable sustain. It works well with just about any electric instrument. It can even take the annoying digital buzz from older and cheaper Casio Keyboards (at higher settings).

I'd recommend it for anyone, like I would a good Compressor.

The Best

This is the best noise reduction unit I have ever owned. I play metal and hard rock with the gain set to the max. I use a Schecter Loomis model and a Jackson DXMB running to the Decimator which then goes straight into the front guitar input on the head, which is a Line 6 Spider Valve powering a Hartke 4x12 cab. The Loomis 7-string can be quite noisy, especially with the springs on the Floyd Rose. When muting the strings between playing, the Decimator makes your rig dead silent. You will have to use a different threshold setting when playing at low volumes vs. live, but no big deal. I could never turn my Spider Valve past 3 because there was so much feedback and I would compensate by turning the gain down, which wasn't the tone I wanted to have. I could go on and on, but this thing is the best!

I have a LOT of pedals in my chain, and I needed something to kill the buzz when I'm not playing. I put the Decimator as the last pedal before my amp, and the noise is gone. I am a fan of simple pedals, and it doesn't get any more simple than one knob. My tone stays intact, and I got the buzz to go away. Exactly what I asked for.

Feedback Killer

I play at high gain levels most of the time and feedback is no longer a problem with this unit. It's placed at the end of the effects chain with no problems. This thing works flawless with XTREME little tone change not enough to even matter trust me.

How I recommend setting it is to put in line with just your guitar. Leave guitar at full volume and amp volume and high gain channel at level you will be playing and turn knob till feedback is gone and thats ALL. Maybe even back it off a hair as long as feedback is gone while playing fast stop and go things and your sustain will be completly un-affected even when bleeding into feedback if desired. Never mind the manual with it just deal with amp hiss or whatever this is good for feedback suppresion and thats it. My guitar volume is set at idle or full throtle and thats all why kill any of the Seymour Duncan Jazz pickups ability.

No problems here when changing to less distortion or clean channel the unit stays on all the time as long as its set to kill just the feedback on high gain channel and thats it.

Strongly recommend getting a power supply as the battery weakens you'll find yourself slightly ajusting it as the night goes on. If not obtained then use only high quality batteries NOT cheapies and that problem will be greatly minimized trust me. With that in mind the power supply will pay itself off in no time flat.

You get what you pay for here so go for it all or just settle for anything else cause this is the best bang for the buck out there. WORKS PERFECT as a feedback destroyer so how many knobs does it need. Feedback here turn knob feedback gone simple as that right boss. If it works with a high gain tube amp like mine (Carvin V3) then I think you'll be glad you read this review I hope it helps.
