Hey Guys
Ive been having alot of problems lately with a very large pedal board and decided to down size for improvement in tone and clarity. Right now Ive got it going tuner, wah, phaser, overdrive, noise suppressor and delay. I noticed that my Boss NS-2 noise suppressor is eating my tone a bit. Id like to keep a noise suppressor cause I play with a lot of gain. What's with the ISP Decimator and whats the difference between that and the G String? I also run everything straight thru to the amp, no effects loop for ease and simplicity again. Any recommendations please?

The ISP stuff is top notch.

The main difference between the Decimator and G-string is that the G-string has an Input/Output for infront of the amp and Send/Return to plug into the loop of the amp.

I had the Decimator, sold it and baught the G-string. The Decimator works great if your only looking for infront of the amp noise reducation, while the G-string does great job at doing that infront of the amp and in the loop.

Cheers
 
Thanks for the info. Sounds like the G string is what Id be looking for. Would be nice to have something that cleans both ends. That last sentence just sounds wrong? Lol

Excuse me if Im mistaken but it seems that you may think the decimator g string has two suppression circuits which it does not. it in fact does no suppression before the amp, only after. ( whcihc subsequently gates any noise in the chain before it)

The improvement of the g string is that they copied the design of the rackmount units input albeit it is still one channel. the rackmount and the g string share the fact that the detection circuit is placed before the amp so that when the pedal is used in the loop switching from your high gain sound to a clean sound you wont have a threshold setting that is just right fir the dirty but too high for the clean.


decimator pedal:

detection circuit-supression circuit (can be used before amp or in loop)

g string:

detection circuit-amp input-fx send-supression circuit-fx return

rackmount:

detection circuit- supression circuit-amp input-fx send-supression circuit-fx return

hope this helps.
