Noise reduction pedals
Noise reduction pedals
i have a couple of different noise reductio pedals/rack gear
in all honesty if your looking to replace an ns-2 i don't think you will find much difference in the decimator compared with the ns-2. Apart from the ns-2 having gives you alot more control over the settings on the pedal alongside the effects loop etc.
i have the ns-2, decimator, hush super c, and smart gate and i still always go back to the ns-2.
Thanks all for the input. I think I will try the smart gate. They seem to be readily available on the used market and are generally lest costly than the ISP new.
I'm currently getting a second board together, so worse comes to worse, I'll put whichever I like less on the second board.
Really curious about he noise clamp
So am I...
Everyone raves about the ISP Decimator but honestly, I think it sucks. Literally. This pedal sucks the life out of my tone. Plus it really chokes out long sustaining notes to the point where i have to shut the damn thing off when I do a solo. I think I'm gonna try the MXR Smart Gate. I used to have a Boss NS-2 and that wasn't much better, either. But the Decimator is way overrated and doesn't work for shit. At least not for me.
Leftallica has (had? I don't remember if he switched to the MXR or not) a Decimator, and it gave him a lot of problems when switching. I have the Smart Gate, and I leave it on all the time and it doesn't give me any problems unless I have it cranked all the way up, which is rare.
I've never used the NS-2, but I see a decent amount of people using them, but have also heard a lot of complaints online which should be taken with a grain of salt. I can't recommend the Smart Gate enough, though.
