Decimator Pedal V-II : Noise and feedback? What is this? ;)

12 years ago

This noise gate is amazing and dosen't effect tone at all...I use multiple pedals overdrive and distortion for gain and also EQ to push the clean channel in my amp....

I found the holy grail of pedals that's eliminating the unwanted fee-back when I stand near my amp and just hold my guitar without touching the strings.

The fit and finish on this pedals is beautiful...THe single knob works perfectly, very simple to adjust and finds the sweet spot for eliminating unwanted noise very quickly.

Unless your already exsperiancing unwanted gain noise from an idlle amp (high gain sounds) this pedal will only cure this issue.

When I use just an overdrive pedal this noise gate gets turned off. It isn't needed and will cut off your signal.

The instruction booklet inside shows a recommended way to use this pedal...It is advised to be used at the very end of a pedal train. I use my and plug it directly into the front of the amp. You can use it in the effects loop but it's pointless if your not running gain pedals through the loop.

Anything ran after this pedal on a signal path will be cut off so this is why this pedal is placed at the end of a pedal board and then into the amp.

Digital interface ie: POD's allow you to run a simulated noise gate in the middle but that's all simualted computer generated effects.

A real analog noise gate like this one is ran at the end of the path...

This pedal is a little pricey but worth it's weight once you get it and see how well they actually work. I would recommend this pedal to anyone whom loves to run a hot signal through their amp and has lots of feedback from gain.
