ISP Tech Noise Decimator pedal

This is for all you folks that use guitar pedals live or in the studio and have to fight with the noise that's generated from the chain. A month or so ago I got so fed up with the noise (hiss) from my pedal board, ruining a good take (even though I have a gate in my chain), that I went in search of something simpler and better. I have a couple of noise gate pedals but I can never get them dialed in perfectly so they will eliminate the noise without affecting my sound or tails of the signal. I came across a pedal, made by ISP Technology, called The Noise Decimator. I watched a few video reviews and I was sold. It's very simple with an in and out jack and one rotary knob to dial out the noise and it really works well! It's a bit expensive at $120 US or more (I found mine on a discount sale). I placed it at the end of the chain and with three tweaks of the knob the noise was completely gone. I was using my Epi Casino with P90 pickups, which is one of my nosiest guitars but I love the tone, and the noise was gone instantly. I usually have to position myself as far from my recording desk as I can just to get something I can work with. The Decimator allowed me to sit right next to the desk and monitor all the controls and I didn't have to do any post track work to remove any hiss. I highly recommend this noise gate pedal to anyone that has a need to remove noise. I wish I had found this years ago....my recording life just got easier. I'll try to attach a picture of the pedal.

BTW if you want to hear the results, I used it on the slide guitar work on my last collab called Roller Coaster

Got to check one out

I love the tone of my p90s Revstar. But noisy. Also, strats in the 1-3 or 5 positions. I also have a gate which I find it's good on some rythym parts. But not so much on leads.
