I typed a long response and a glitch erased it, at this point I don’t care enough to explain it further a second time.
The G-string is NOT as you described and does NOT have two reduction circuits. It works EXACTLY as I explained, the gating happens in the loop and the detector up front tracks the input.
“Hello . This is Bill at ISP. To start from the beginning, there are 4 jacks on the G String. The ones labeled gtr in and gtr out are just a hard wire through . We take a tap off that signal and feed a detector circuit that reads just your dynamics off the guitar. The output of this circuit feeds a VCA (voltage controlled amplifier) which is the other 2 jacks dec in and dec out on the pedal. This is where you get the actual noise reduction.
The intent here is to have the guitar connected directly to the guitar in so the detector is tracking you guitar directly. This will allow the Decimator to perform consistently whether you turn on pedals or change channels on the amp.
The dec in /dec out path will be connected to your send and return on the back of the amp. This will capture the noise from your guitar, pedal board , and the high gain channels on the amp. This will require any delay and reverb effects to be inserted into the fx loop after the G String . The dec in/ dec out path should be connected first off the send on the fx loop then to your delay and reverb.
If you have any other questions , feel free to contact me.

Well maybe mine is defective then.
