So we are about to do sound check in detroit today when i notice the guitar tech for bullet for my valetine trying out the Decimator G String pedal....

i've wanted to try one of these for a long time as i'm sick of having boss ns-2 noise suppressors break on me every 6 months. i honestly bought 3 last year. i tried the rocktron hush pedal...and while decent at removing amp hiss and effects hum, it's not a gate and does nothing for my guitar feed back which is the most important noise issue i have because i play my Herbert LOUD. and while using both pedals at the same time was okay....it kind of sucked my tone up a bit because they didn't exactly work in tandem to fix the problem i was having with noise.

enter the isp g string!

so after i heard the pedal quieting up bullets guitar rig i talked to the isp rep and asked him to try out the pedal. once we got it set up in the serial loop of my herbert we tweaked the threshold knob and found just the right sweet spot where it wouldn't cut my notes short. i do a lot of artificial harmonics and squeals and it's really important to me that these aren't cut off prematurely and once we found the sweet spot i was sustaining for days! it was awesome. the pedal even maintained all the harmonic feedback i love playing with for effect at the beginning and end of our set. i was blown away. and you wanna talk noise....there wasn't any..it was dead quiet. if my strings were muted there was zero feed back and zero amp hiss. i even tried to make it noisier by throwing in a cheap daisy chain power supply that i know causes hum in my pedal board. nothing...no noise at all. it was simply brilliant. played a show and the pedal was fantastic.

we are flyin over to england this week to do some club shows with anti flag, play ieperfest in belgium and later play reading and leeds festivals in the uk. i will really put the pedal to the test at these shows and let you know how it went. but honestly after last night...actually right after sound check i thought it sounded so good i bought the pedal off the rep immediately.

if these pedals are as durable as they look. i am going to be happily noise free for a long time.
i highly recommend this pedal to all us diezel owners as it is perfect for a high gain monster like a herbert or vh4.
i had tried out the original decimator pedal awhile back and it didnt blow me away enough to want to stop using my boss pedal....but the way decimator G STRING interacts with the effects loop of the herbert makes it just incredible. apparently it won't cut off clean notes either (which the ns-2 always does) so i'll test it out and see if this claim is true.
finally a truly great set and forget noise reduction unit!

hell yeah isp!

play ieperfest in belgium

awesome man, ieper is one of the coolest events imho, always great. in which band do you play?

*petereanima is already saving money for an ISP*
 
Off course they dont NEED it... but believe me... you will note a HUGE difference when you actually use it and hear it (dont hear it) in person... after all, this is a hyper High Gain amp... and alittle moise make... and that is what the ISP takes off...

Absolutely amazing ;) I would never take it off :D. It's the best combo ever... diezel + ISP

I feel diezels dont need a noise gate...anyone else?
 
Anyone ever used the ISP to calm down noisy wah's in front of the Herbert/VH4?
the hissin' from my VOX 847 and Dime wah's (when engaged and even with an Axess BS2) is pissin' me off :doh:
 
hey mike try the isp pedal last thing in your pedal chain before you reach the amp. that might get rid of noisy pedals.

peace

The G string is an awesome pedal. If you don't want to run it in the FX loop, you can also run it with it's own loop, like an NS-2. It can take the noise out of all the fx in it's own loop, while still using the original guitar signal to track and filter noise.
 
Andy and Erock, thank you! I'm not really running anything in front of the Diezels right now, and hopefully this'll reduce the wah noise :yes: :rock:
