ISP Decimator Noise Reduction (By Pedals' Park)

[McFro95]

I've just seen some English reviews of this that were less helpful than this one.

So, just in case you can be bothered to paste this comment into Google Translator, well done and thank you for this review!

[Fishpigg]

is this guy talking backwards ?

[morbe77]

WHAT?!



[Calvin0135]

i have no idea what he's saying but this is still a really good demo

[romare2]

ffs this is not swedish

[buckethead30001]

do you have some delay on? because when you turn on the ISP i hear some minal delay in the back...

[yodchula]

@buckethead30001 yes! see clip on 2:57

[buckethead30001]

@yodchula oh wow, sorry dint se that xD

Is isp the last pedal of the chain?

[patient1234]

I have a Big Muff Bass, and I use alot of distortion. My problem is, of course I get noise, but mostly, I get horrible unwanted feedback. Can noise suppressors/decimators get rid of the feedback?Thank you

[edwardtang1977]

luckily I understand Thai

[commendsband]

i've got a question. i play metal, and my pedal board consists of only 3 pedals. however, the power going through all the 3 pedals have created an annoying and loud "hum". what is the best way to approach this? a noise gate pedal is my first idea, however i'd like to know if i have more options, thanks if anyone can help!

[archenemyowns]

I thought the noise pedal was suppose to go last on the the chain before going into the amp?

[ghostschiphon]

when he turned it on after playing on the od pedal the audio clips i think he edited it and rearranged the chain

[reikofact]

can someone translate the video? I cant understand anything :(

[Anborn1990]

I can't hear the difference...I think that NS-2 by boss is a long way better!

[RNRDOLL]

yes, noise gates are always the last in the chain before the amp.

As far as the best, so far I think its the decimator and the mxr smart gate.

[Hellad00d]

@MrIplayguitar This pedal is deffinetly not the best. the boss ns-2 is alot better. has more features for even a little cheaper. I actually owned the decimater and it stopped working and the company would not even do anything even though i had the factory warranty. anyhow i got rid of it and got the boss ns-2 and it killllsss the decimator

[strikefirstt]

The ns2 sucks tone, wich the decimator doesn't.

[donmiad189]

@Hellad00d

Yeah, I have 2 decimator pedals I brought from Musician's Friend's scratch&dent that still work. I am lucky, but every time I window shop Musicians Friend, they are selling decimators that need work cause they are not functioning or not fully functional. No doubt Boss has a superior track record.

[zoomzilla67]

Yes, it will get rid of your feedback. If you ever run any pedals, just make sure the decimator is the last pedal in your chain. Never put a Decimator in the loop anyway. You need an ISP G-string for the loop.

[NelsonRezek]

not to be rude or offensive but who cares about the language this is a pedal demo none of you are answering any questions about the pedal because your to worried about what languge the guy speaks haha

[MetalAC21]

any suggestions on which version would be better suited for me? the decimator or the g-string version? my amp does not have an effects loop but i have a lot of pedals up front. i see that with the g-string i can run my pedals in the g-string's loop eliminating noise. would this be better than getting the regular decimator and just running it last in my chain?

[pedalspark]

I think you can use the regular one, put decimator to the first pedals in your chain.

[BrasilGuitar]

@pedalspark The manual says that you have to put after the drive pedals!!

[pedalspark]

@BrasilGuitar @BrasilGuitar Yes, that's what manual suggestion.

But in my opinion I like to put ISP before overdrive and distortion pedal,

Because I want to take out noise floor of the guitar not the noise floor of overdrive pedal.

That's the way I can get more sustain I prefer you to try it by yourself.

[Fender1976uk]

Thats an interesting idea :) I'm going to try that

[ourawkfist]

@pedalspark If you want sustain, get a compressor. Your noise gate runs at the back of your chain, because you are putting noise in your signal with your dirt pedal, therefore, you have your gate AHEAD of the noise, not behind it.. sorry dude, that logic just doesnt work. Follow the manual on this one. Put all your delay, and time based pedals (phaser too) in your fx loop if you have one. ITs just one more thing that wont suck any tone from your signal.

[yodchula]

@ourawkfist

I put ISP before Overdrive cuz I want ISP work with noise floor of guitar.

not the noise floor of overdrive.

so this VDO show how ISP select release time with long note and shot note

to reduce the noise.

[Jakeistoocool143]

@MetalAC21 If you dont have or use an effects loop, the g string is pointless. Just get the regular decimator and put if as the last pedal in your chain and set it around 40.

[mercedez7000]

it is Thai language ^^

[akettviking]

2:33 It does not work, Why?

[pedalspark]

because ISP is turned of, see 2:46 ISP is turning on agin and it's work.

[theoutubecelebrity]

can this get rid of feedback?

[Escaperz]

seems more like viet or thai.defintely not jap or chinese.

[mbos4115]

it's Thai

[tomakiakls]

is it japanese speaking???

[acalora123]

sounds more chinese than japanese, but who am i to tell?

[sk8monster112]

how do u get good sustain from this pedal? i have one i just got and i'm wondering cuz my sound fades rather quickly than without it engaged

[yodchula]

you should try to put ISP before overdrive or distortion pedal.

[sk8monster112]

@yodchula i dont have any distortion or OD pedals yet my signal fades rather quickly

[yodchula]

then you have to turn threshold as low as it possible.

[paddan91]

roll down the treshold

[juliesses]

@sk8monster112 lower the threshold. You should have it at a level just high enough to eliminate all the fizz.

[gorkanshveil]

so, your guitar goes straight into guitar, then into the rest of your pedals?

i actually dont use any pedals, my Spider Valve 212 already has really good effects/distortions, however i find when i turn the volume up, its just really squealy and has a lot of feedback. I already know its not a problem with my tubes, so would i just plug my guitar straight into the noisegate, and then into the amp?

[Geetarfrik]

no, you should put the decimator in the effects loop.

[vazkilzan]

does anyone know if MXR smart gate is a good noise reducer without cutting off the sustain and tone because now im down to 3 choices.

1. Boss NS-2

2. ISP decimator

3. MXR smart gate

please help i want something at a good price and stops the hissing and hum without screwing up my sustain and tone. plus which pedal stops the hissing and humming on high gain distortion. please reply. thanks.

[MrDuddde]

isp all the way dude. smart gate and ns 2 take away from your tone. isp are 140 i believe and an ns2 is like 70 or 80. you ge tmore for what u pay

[juliesses]

@vazkilzan ISP Decimator is the best out of those three, it doesn't suck tone like the others.

[krisofnh]

IT should be used for your ONE pedal that causes the most noise, so- after the distortion pedal that causes lots of noise when guitar volume is at 0, or if NO NOISE when guitar volume is at ZERO PLace AFTER the distortion/noisy pedal, THIS IS A GREAT PEDAL used properly, i dont know why im posting on this though :S

[varone6t9]

when having a noise gate in ur pedal board..wich is the best place to put it...i ask because when i have it at the end of all my pedals it only does half the job.

[EngageTheKnot]

put it AFTER the pedals that cause the noise...GUITAR----->MAXON 0D808----->ISP------WAH-----AM­P

[inesenthm]

It goes in front (at the beginning).

[NewOscarGuy]

Yeah I dont haven any tone issues with my NS-2 and I like the Daisy Chain option. I picked up a 9v 1500ma adapter and it can run all my pedals perfectly. Except my Wah and Whammy have their own power source.

[stewie9793]

the boss noise suppressor is a piece of shit. I own one and all it does is kill your tone and doesnt work well with distortions.

[Hellad00d]

it depends how you have your settings, and at least i know theboss wont crap out on me half way through a show. THe decimator had no quality, and you cant control anything on it. and i use a tube screamer and it seems to do great with that and a high gain head, when Iused the decimator it didnteven work to kill the noise lilke the ns-2. i would ofneeded two decimators to do the work of one boss ns-2.

[Merzbowxnoise]

what language is that?

[nailclipp4r]

it's thai.

[sprtn117c]

i only heard a difference on distortion

[cryptblood1986]

There's a trick to save you guys money instead of buying these stupid noise reduction pedals. Just take aluminum tinfoil & tape or use rubber band to stick it it to the inside of the back plate.

Also get a 3prong to a 2prong adapter stick it to your amp so you get a ground.

You'll get no noise at all with out your guitar/amp's noise being colored or losing lots of sustain by these pedals.

[SoundcoreRecords]

back plate of what?

[itsalldownhillfromno]

He means the backplate of the guitar cavity where the springs /electronics would be and where the tone pot is.

[guitarheroal]

the isp is shit..it gave up on me 20 mins into a rehearsal...the company ignore your e-mails..a brand new stomp box rendered useless....save 60% of the price and buy a boss ns2...both arent the finished article...but the boss is more trustworthy if your a gigging musician

[cryptblood1986]

lol yeah dude you should of read the part on the pedal that said Made In China. Which is always a sign of shit quality.

[koolhandvuk]

This guy's speech reminds me of Wayne's World where Wayne speaks to Casandra in her native language.....

[Gibonz]

LMAO!

[nikitofin]

@koolhandvuk jajajaja !!!! it's true

[TheBlackPriest]

i didn't hear any difference...

[chaazums]

blah blah blah blah HUMBUCKER blah blah blah blah DECIMATOR blah blah NOISE blah blah

lol thats what he sounds like!!!

[stefanlowe]

what'd you call me? judenny colndung gummy len non coon? what?

[Feeney4you]

This is Thai language. A nii pen passah Thai (sorry, dont know the script).

[snapascrew]

safe to say the tone at 1:10 is the worst I have ever heard.

[marciojeferson]

man they can speak any language, but y the hell the titles r in english?

[snapascrew]

"ohh hacka ohh tekka munngaa geeengo mellah"

lol

[pornhome]

that les paul at the start is a sweet shade of blue

[lsdman14]

Do you need to put this in front of your amp? I heard if you put other pedals in front of it it affects the tone.

[tremalow]

ISP says either at the end of the chain of pedals or in the effects loop

[ferociouspokemachine]

lmfao

ham-back-ahhh

[guitar18567]

how much are these normally? are they over 200 bucks?

[IMSOSIC]

the g string is over 200 bucks, the regular one is like 123 dollars on ebay

[topicrass]

wahts teh diference¿??

[ppsound]

does anyone have an idea if this is better than ROCKTRON HUSH SUPER C PEDAL?:-??

thanx

[madezecke]

imo the best noise gate is the rocktron guitar silencer

[PhilippeMusique]

hmmm I hear noise when he does the long sustained note...

[snapascrew]

will it take away 100 feed back and 100 precent buzz if i have a 5150 and tube screamer? (without taking tone away) ?

[vontetzianos]

The true noise reduction units are large rack units, but this is the best noise gate in a pedal ive tried. You won't sacrifice a lot of your tone with this one.

[gamecrackerjack]

this pedal does not take tone away its the best one out

[llAkuTsUll]

Best noise gate ever, I have it and I fucking love it man ;)

[otentas]

0,22 "giakoumi you"? ti lei o malakas?

[mrtoulouse]

The result will be that the only signals that pass through the first hush is the stuff you want heard. then you get an even sound and more sustain from your compressor (i use an mxr super comp) And then the only stuff that reaches your dist pedal is your playing, not the small annoying slide sounds, puffs, whaps and so on ;). I use a blackstar tube dist box which generates alot of noise, so i use another hush after that. and trust me the sound coming out of my amp is perfect. purer than pure:).

[d00derson]

You could do that... or just get an ISP and be done with it.

[mrtoulouse]

heres what you do: Buy either 1 or 2 rocktron hush pedals. The first you put very first in your chain, and turn up the sensitivity till you no longer hear these unwanted sounds. This is not a high setting unless you have your pickups sitting too close to the strings. then you put a compressor next in your chain to tidy things up and help that slight sustain loss you get from the hush(very minimal loss). Then you have your dist pedal. and if that is noisy in itself you use the other hush( cont.)

[mrtoulouse]

youre absolutely wrong. Shanedv... i had the excapt same problem. people just wouldnt listne to it and kept saying it was my technique. but it wasnt tho. If you have hi gain settings you barely have to touch the strings to make noise. This is very frustrating especially in quiter solo's like hevens door etc. Dont beat yourself up over it tho. Even slash today makes some noises from the other strings, it isnt head in context but can be heard when playing by yourself. I have the answer tho.(cont.)

[shanedv8]

is this the pedal i need to take away the hiss and noise and the sound of my fingers moving when i play my big muff?

[UGApballer]

This wont take away the sliding noise of your fingers against the strings, but it will handle all buzzing and hissing from gain and feedback in the amp.

[shanedv8]

is there any pedal that will take away the sliding noise?

[UGApballer]

You can't take that away. That's resonance going to the pickups. Just learn how not to do it.

[Jesuswins777]

The ISP Decomator will blow away the Boss NS2 and the MXR Smart Gate. I have used them all and the ISP wins easily.

[JakXIII]

ive been trtin to get a decimater for a while but they dnt sell em in stores, whered you get urs at?

[wiory]

anyway imho it sounds better than rocktron hush, which is one of the best noise gates, so...

[llAkuTsUll]

Nice video video man, I just wanna know if the Isp Decimator only goes in the loop.

Pd: sorry for my english

[sonicwingnut]

that one can go either in the loop or in your chain, depending if you want to cut interference from either the preamp or your guitar. There's a new one called the Decimator G-string that can do both at once.

[rjetpereira]

so If i use a distortion pedal, put it in the chain and if I use the Gain from my amp (Laney LCR15 Combo) then put it in the FX loop? Referring to the decimator regular. not the g-string. I don't think i need to pay that much for a noise suppressor so the regular one is fine. I get this super high pitch squeal when i run my distortion with a compressor(BOSS CS-3). I have a Ibanez S620EXQM with a PAF JOE Neck PUP and an EVO2 Bridge.

[Kurisublack]

Thai sounds funny, I'm sorry :)

[pennerrocks]

is that thai?

[yodchula]

yes it is.

[jerrylauj913]

it sucks alot of tune out my pedals...works OK but not big difference

[spiralingcrazies]

of course it kills part of the tone - every noise gate filters a bit, regardless of what the manual tells you. Noise Min Quan Man Nak! \m/

[gtrfreak101]

so does this NOT kill your tone? cause i got the boss noise gate and it sucked big time.

[pedalspark]

ISP Decimator not kill your tone.

[MrJackanthony]

@pedalspark Im sorry if this is a repeat question but what about harmonics? (natural nad 'squeelies" ? I understand this pedal cancels out signals beween the 60hz 12-hz range?

how is that effected. Great product in any case.) Thanks for the video

[GamerConor]

do noise gat pedals work with basses?? my big muff adds so much buzz/hum!!! plz help!

[gilbertgodlyddd]

Christ Muffs are buzzy aren't they :L! I have to play constantly when the muff is on otherwise it just slaughters your ears.

[GamerConor]

indeed, but alright cus i got a wooly Mammoth in the post.lol

[amarr1]

yea

[wastemick]

Hi all, I play rhytm-guitar with three distortion-pedals, so I use three different dynamics of volume. Now I think I need a noise-gate pedal thou, so I'd like to know if the ISP Decimator would affect the volume, especially when the three pedals are engaged. Thanks a lot!

[Humanfly5]

Dude where can i buy one? Great pedal..

[Kinners12281993]

actually yes, lol isp usually makes rack items and this is the only pedal they make so its top of the line, one of the best pedals ever

[hotlava9]

I can't tell a diff from when he turn the dec on or off... am i tone deaf??!??!?!?! xD

mm is teh decimator help out tons with noise when you not playing nething..? was thinking of gettinga  peavey 6505, just worried bout the noise... since my practice luvs noise apparently... mmm ...maybe thats how i got tone deaf to begin with?!

[tigreslokos]

you can tell the difference because the Decimator won't affect your tone while working...

[Kinners12281993]

no, the decimator isn't supposed to effect tone if you type like isp vs smart gate it shows a nosie gate that does and doesn't effect tone.

[redoubt740]

aaah kk! lol makes much more sense now >.>

thx for clearing that up though :))) both of ya 8D

[triviummusician]

the decimator is great, but if you have alot of pedals and you want to use really high metal gain, i would accompany that with an overdrive pedal, because it does slightly take away from your tone, you won't hear it when its a held note, but you can hear it if he was in the act of playing and he turned it on and off

[datamonster]

Anyone knows what version of the ocd is this?

[pedalspark]

OCD is 2nd Version.

[fudgewhacker]

...at the end of the ' long sustained note ' you can hear amp noise....hmmm

[Rhaab]

yah, thats cause its in the sound, theres no way to take noise out of the sound, just the noise out of not playing. One way to reduce noise is to fully shield the electronics and pickup.

[sleeepingpills]

I use an OCD. With the ISP, does anyone notice kind of a removal of dynamics from this pedal due to the buffer? The buffer on my boss TU-2 definitely did this. I don't have a decimator yet, but I plan on buying one.

[eviLocK]

This video is very helpful even thought I don't understand the language. Thank you for your video.

BTW What Les Paul you're using?

[jacey714]

is this in vietnamese? Can't tell...

[pedalspark]

This is Thai. :)

[scottj19x89]

i just got this pedal and it is no joke

i <3 it... doesn't touch your tone if you use it right

[iVai777]

It's a good review, only I can't tell what he's saying.

[dimesatch]

can't wait to get one

[twooos]

at 0.15 he says gangbang lol

[ChrisFeener]

hahahhaha..hah..

hah..

[arturobandiniti]

ahhahahaahahha

[slickvader310]

LOL i actually stopped the video and went back

[twooos]

lol

[rju928]

great catch! hahah

[christiandx3]

LMFAO!

ahhahahhahahaahha

[jockslaine]

it doesnt affect the tone of the guitar, if you notice when he turned the distortion way up it started buzzing. and when he turned the decimator on the buzzing stopped

[kyral210]

Is it me, or does the decimator do bugger all? I couldn't tell the difference.

[aec0691]

it cancels the hum hav a look wen he turns the dist right up and then the decimator... it doesnt effect the tone which is whu it is so good

[Synthweasel]

I have a guyatone noise reduction pedal which is pretty cool but this ISP one sounds better! keeps the buzz quiet and is not in a rush to cut off your sound when u stop playing :)

[snapascrew]

if its not english it sucks!

[supern00b]

yea its Thai.

[pedalspark]

It is Thai Langauge, bro.

[julikkan]

what in the hell is this? and why a japaneise?

[Andrewsonfire]

Pretty cool demo. would of love to see it with more distortion and stuff. nad in english
