Decimator Pedal V-II : What a great pedal!

10 years ago

When it comes to noise reduction I doubt it comes more effective or simple than this.

The Decimator II from ISP has the same form factor as the BOSS pedal range featuring a large hinged footswitch rather than the usual button type latching footswitch. Finished in silver it looks rather tasty and the rugged metal housing is bomb proof.

There?s only one control, a single threshold knob (-70db to +10db) which makes the pedal a doddle to use. I?ve been using it as part of a home studio to tame extraneous noise with some fairly high-gain rock and metal tones.

My rig features a number of valve-based preamps and the Decimator II is able to eliminate most of the unwanted hiss and hum from the signal. All you need to do is rotate the threshold knob until you have the desired amount of noise reduction and you?re done. Fantastic.

I highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for an effective noise reduction pedal for their board.
