any one have a decimator g-string?

[NinjaRaf]

I had one for a short period of time about a year ago, but as time has passed, I now know that the FX loop in my 6505 is screwed up. This, I assume, will not be the case with the JSX. So, I am buying a decimator, but Im not sure if I should just go standard or g-string. If I run the g-string through both the front and the loop of the JSX, will it kill feedback and noise better than running the standard up front?

Also, while Im asking questions about noise gates, any one try the behringer noise gate? I would like to have something at home without spending an assload of money, and for 35 bucks, it seems like it would work the same as an ns-2, which I assume it is copying...

Have the G-String on my board, works as advertised. I have it before my reverb and delay pedals so they will decay naturally instead of just being cut off.

It simply tracks your guitar signal and cuts the hiss while softly shutting down the loop when you are not playing. It will help clamp down feedback if it's not too severe. But keep in mind, feedback is a guitar signal, so you may have to just palm mute your strings for just a second when you finish playing. But once it locks it down you should be OK.

using a normal decimator upfront only kills the guitar noise, it wont affect preamp hiss. using it in the loop will kill all noise but it may chop off clean tones or volume roll offs. the g string goes in the loop so it kills ALL noise but tracks the signal upfront from the guitar rather than the fx loop send so there will be no issues when switching to clean or rolling off on the volume knob.

haha took me a minute to see it on that board!!

Kinda sounds like the g-string is what I am wanting. Thats a hefty ass price, though.

You won't regret it... it doesn't color the tone and it's dead quiet after.

one of my best purchases

I recently got a basic decimator and I love it in the loop, but it does squash my cleans a little (completely transparent on my dirty channel, which is what I have it dialed for) so I'm considering selling it and getting the G-string.

If you bounce back and forth between clean and gain channels, either run the basic unit up front or get the G-String for the loop.

 

[NinjaRaf]

Well, I would like something to run up front and in the loop.

Just get the G-String

 

[NinjaRaf]

Yeah, I probably will

I hope it works better with my JSX than it did with my 6505 lol.

Bad@$$ board man!

Yeah, that thing is tight.

I really need to sit down one of these days and build some patch and 9v dc cables to precise lengths, my board looks like a plate of spaghetti.

Best pedal noise reduction I've seen so far, you won't regret it!
