Decimator Pedal V-II : Can't go wrong with this noise gate

5 years ago

I was looking for something to cancel out the noise when I bump the gain from my Friedman BE OD pedal and after some research I decided to go with the Decimator.

You will not be disappointed if you go with it. It is extremely simple to use and I turn the knob usually just above the 12 O'clock position to cancel the noise and my metal tone became really clear and when I lift my hands off the fretboard there is no static noise. It does everything I want it to.

It is used by one of my favourite bands Disturbed. Guitarist Dan Donegan has it as an irreplaceable part of his rig and if you are looking for a nice noise gate for a good metal sound, this is a top choice.

Build wise it looks solid, but the reflective metallic looks can make the text a bit difficult to read, not that you'll need to read much, but it's the only con I can think of.
