Your set up shouldn't hum on the clean channel its probably your power. The power is polluted with the energy waves of the lights and other things your running on that circuit. Just buy a power scrubber it will help if you don't want to use the noise gate for the clean tones! :)
@SidewalkSamba that's the volume level at which the elimination of noise starts kicking in. For instance, set the threshold to the max an it will kill all sound. To the min, it's like it's not even on at any level.
Does anybody know why the guitar makes that popping noise when he touches the strings at 0:30 ? I kinda have the same problem and idk if it's the amp, the guitar ( Fender Strat Classic 70's MIM) the cable, or my electrical wiring in the house. Any help would be much appreciated.
I think keeping the hum is good for your tone, as a whole. Not to say you should just let your stratocaster hum - out, but you could just hold the strings to ground the guitar and prevent buzzing when you don't want it.
@mandolinroad single coils with no grounding wire into an amp that probably needs a cap job plugged into a socket sharing a wire with an array of dimmer lights just about does it.
Looks like you tried hard not to be touching the strings when the unit was off to make sure the guitar was as noisy as it could and then you started playing the instant you touched the strings leaving no gap for us to hear that the guitar actually makes very little noise when you're holding the strings/bridge...which can be heard momentarily at 0:30. I see the point and I'm not saying it's a bad pedal either but I think the above makes the demo misleading. Nice playing btw.
@1Hyk when using noise suppressors that's what you do - or what I do anyhow. When you aren't playing is when you want the suppressor to kick in hard to kill the hum. When you are playing you really can't hear much other than what you're playing - if your hum is louder than your playing, it's a bigger issue than what a suppressor can handle, since a suppressor can't differentiate between played notes and hum as a "note." So yes, after playing i stop any noise louder than the ISP's threshold.
@jahnli is it best to put this before your wah and other effects or at the end of the chain ? i play with an orange dual terror so no loop just strait in baby !!! and as u can imagine a row of 9 pedals gets a bit noisy so im flirting with the idea of one of these but dont fully understand the operation of them and its big money to buy before u get the low down if u catch my drift ..... cheers
@oasisroses well if you put it after a delay or trem that has a trailing repeat or warble that goes below the noise threshold that you set for the ISP, the ISP will kill that noise - but that's up to where you set your sensitivity threshold.
This is EXACTLY what I need. I use a Fender Princeton 650 (Very hissy amp even at low settings)amp and a guitar with a Charlie Christian pup in it...so I pick up everything little bit of noise when I play.
This pedal is exactly what I need to clean up my playing and make the other musicians happy also. They're always complaining about my hum/noise when the music is playing quieter.
It Does shorten your sustain by about 7-10 percent .......But for what you benifit in reduced humm & hiss when not playing its well worth it & a great tool for just about any guitarist , better yet Anyone who wants to illiminate any little noise or interference wether its vocals or Bass or guitar.
@longlivebone ah just a little riff i put together, it's the Am shape, to an Em shape, slide down two frets, slide back up, make the Em shape an Emajor7 shape, that's it!
@cwinget2580 yes you can use it that way - if you have a high volume or high gain amp, this pedal can kill off the magnified hums and buzzes associated with that.
@Britton529 That's right, it's a Bigsby. Back then you had to screw it on and make new holes - not reversible. These days they have something called a Vibramate, a plate that lets you reverse a Bigsby mod. Google it for details, very cool item.
Okay, so I just got a new half stack and it gives of a really high pitched squeal when I turn the gain past 7. Is this the right pedal I'm looking for to get rid of that annoying sound?
@ironsabbath18 This pedal can noise gate to a certain point but if that squeal is as high or higher than the signal you want to put out, you'll never get rid of that squeal past 7 when you're playing. Instead of masking the problem, time to take the amp to the shop!
You are one cool man ! You win the YT award for patience. I read all these post and you answer all these guys questions and a lot of them the same questions over and over, you must be one cool Dude.Your guitar sounds
great ! Now I want to ask you , will this pedal affect my tone ? lol ! just kidding , great
What kind of adaptor does it use?? can it be powered with the daisy chain for boss pedals? How much did it cost you ?? this is the first time I see this pedal in action and I've heard it beats de ns-1 from boss
Have no questions, just a remark. The more I read here under, the more i respect you. What a patience you show here to answer those million questions. Quit exceptional. Goes to my favorites as a sample of politeness.
Thanks for your video!! I just saw a youtube video of the boss noise gate versus the ISP ...Well the ISP won out ... I realy need to get the ISP Decimator ... My question is this ... Do you plug into the ISP as the 1st pedal in your line of effects, Or last?? Also, Can it be ordered thru Musicians Friend catolog???
seems like you just have constant feedback... dunno if its just cause its a bad amp or the volume level.,,, i only get feed back like that if the amp is really loud for band stuff... do you think this noise gate will work for that too?
yes, it doesn't matter if it's onboard amp distortion after the ISP, or preamp distortion made by a pedal before the ISP - if there's noise, the ISP will decimate it. however, if you have zero signal from the guitar, and your amp is wailing away, that's a bigger issue than a pedal can handle - time to do some maintenance on your amp!
well thats great you got that all figured out. And I guess its kinda cool to know my educated guess was correct. Really does show how well this pedal works!
Could you please make a video with letting notes decay fully? I missed that cause you always muted the strings before the notes actually ended ringing by themselves.
That's a habit I had when I played with hum, where I usually grounded the strings using my hands before hum gets louder than the decaying signal. But in the demo I actually take off my hands for a "look ma no hands, no hum" moment after playing. You can set the sensitivity level to cut off a dying signal, or pretty much just let the thing ring out forever, like in the distortion part of the demo - either way, when there's no signal, there's no hum, which is key.
I have a question that aybe you can answer man. Whenever I play through my single coils on my Strat it gives this awful buzzing and it's unbearable with distortion. If I hit the distortion it gives instant feedabck, I was thinking about getting a nois gate but I figured that would only hide the real problm. It's different form the regular 60 cycle hum it's a full on buzzing sound, and it's only on the single coils.Any help would be appreciated.
Could be that your guitar is not properly grounded, make certain the grounding wire is properly connected to the trem. Otherwise, you could have very microphonic pickups that squeal. Problems like that won't be solved by simple shielding.
These pedals are just hype!!If you play high gain rock,and want to play a quiet passage in the middle of a song,roll back the volume,the pedal takes your signal and makes it inaudible..The only thing it decimates is you're signal and you're wallet..trust me and try it for yourself before you buy it...al
If you set the threshold to block out everything but a high gain signal like a metal staccato passage, then when you play quieter that quiet signal will stil be blocked (as well as the hum). Using it that way is more like a noise gate than a hum remover - if you set the gate high, only the high gain goes through. Set it low to just kill the hum, and your guitar's signal will be just fine.
Yep a '52 Tele RI with stock pickups. I picked it because it already had a bigsby on it from a previous owner, and I couldn't believe the amount of spank it still had.
Well it has a nitro finish, so yes it'll get sticky if you really heat that thing up with your sweaty palm, versus a poly finish that you can just wipe off. Never noticed a tone suck with the ISP at all. Tried a Boss one, thought I heard tone suck there.
It Does cut off the very tail end of your sustain & for s split second it gets that fading drizzly low battery kind of sound,but is quikly gone. To say this is a perfect Noise gate...........Not! To say this is a great noise gate, YES ....Its been hyped up a Lot,so I was Not THAT impressed with it.......but its good, Plan on keeping Mine permenently because it Cleans up my background hiss & noise , I sacrifice a split second of sustain but the Clean-ness ya get is worth every penny.
Thanks for making a video on this! I'm playing on a high gain tube amp, and another solid state amp. I'll be playing metal with the gain all the way up, is this going to work for it? I tried the boss noise gate, and it took out the feedback and hiss, but it made my tone sound like garbage. The threshold might be almost all the way up if not all the way up. Will it suck out my tone like the Boss? Thanks!
if you want just the hiss and feedback gone you don't have to turn it all the way up - if you do, even the input signal will get chopped off (which makes for good staccato metal riffing). i didn't notice any tone suck.
Yeah I'm just looking for the feedback to be reduced, the hiss would be nice too. I usually have the amp all the way up, so the hiss is louder than the guitar :p. Thanks!
You can dial the decimation level low so the signal's sustain comes through, yes. This clip actually has it on that low threshold, as you can see by how I hold it long on the distortion channel. But yes it can also be set high so it will clip the main signal too, like for heavy metal riffs.
what about Chunky Chops like Old Metallica stuff where theres some chunka-chunka type rythems , with lots of ditsortion.........Can it filter the hiss yet let the full Chunka -chunka come thru?
it actually doesn't matter if the signal is clean or distorted, as the ISP works on the hum at both levels. You can just hear the hum better when i upped the gain in the distortion channel.
i just got a new one and i was shocked when it said made in china ! are these all made in china or just mine cause it's brand new ! i thought they were made in the u.s.a ! please help!awesome demo by the way !
i just bought this and i cant seem to get it to work properly. i have the exact same setup as you but the pedal completely sucks the sound away even when the dials all the way to the left. what did u use for input/output?
The normal ISP just has an input and output jack. guitar to input to output to amp, and the sensitivity knob controls how much decimation goes on. Not really sure about the G version, never owned it.
I bought one..it lasted 20 mins in a rehearsal...contacted isp.and the designer told me to send it from the uk to the states at my expense for repair!!!!!!!..i,m a musician with 35 yrs experience...and what I did hear of this stomp box was not pleasant...if your a bedroom player,by all means waste your money..however...if you need a robust piece of kit to gig with...that doesnt suck tone...buy the boss ns2...it wont let you down...
I suppose a good working ISP is better than NS-2, and doesn't cut tone, at least not as much as NS-2. The customer support seems bad though.
If you use 4 or more pedals, is this thing needed? let's say we have a wah, a fuzz/sustain, compressor and an overdrive on the pedal board, would that lead to the purchase of such device?
OK, I'm thinking of getting a noise suppressor. I'm stuck on either Boss Ns-2 or this pedal. I want Boss because it is good quality and has more features and is cheaper, but I hear this pedal is better as far as tone goes. Which should I get?
Your set up shouldn't hum on the clean channel its probably your power. The power is polluted with the energy waves of the lights and other things your running on that circuit. Just buy a power scrubber it will help if you don't want to use the noise gate for the clean tones! :)

did you try out the american deluxe as well?
777jordan 2 years ago
Yes but the '52 had a bigger neck, which I liked.
Jahnli 2 years ago
I heard the '52 gets grimy when your hand sweats. Have you had this problem?
Does this Noise Decimator suck your tone at all? Have you tried the MXR smartgate or other noise reduction pedals? Thanks
777jordan 2 years ago
Well it has a nitro finish, so yes it'll get sticky if you really heat that thing up with your sweaty palm, versus a poly finish that you can just wipe off. Never noticed a tone suck with the ISP at all. Tried a Boss one, thought I heard tone suck there.

i like the hum. it gives it a vintage tone.

It Does cut off the very tail end of your sustain & for s split second it gets that fading drizzly low battery kind of sound,but is quikly gone. To say this is a perfect Noise gate...........Not! To say this is a great noise gate, YES ....Its been hyped up a Lot,so I was Not THAT impressed with it.......but its good, Plan on keeping Mine permenently because it Cleans up my background hiss & noise , I sacrifice a split second of sustain but the Clean-ness ya get is worth every penny.

Thanks for making a video on this! I'm playing on a high gain tube amp, and another solid state amp. I'll be playing metal with the gain all the way up, is this going to work for it? I tried the boss noise gate, and it took out the feedback and hiss, but it made my tone sound like garbage. The threshold might be almost all the way up if not all the way up. Will it suck out my tone like the Boss? Thanks!

if you want just the hiss and feedback gone you don't have to turn it all the way up - if you do, even the input signal will get chopped off (which makes for good staccato metal riffing). i didn't notice any tone suck.
Jahnli 2 years ago
Yeah I'm just looking for the feedback to be reduced, the hiss would be nice too. I usually have the amp all the way up, so the hiss is louder than the guitar :p. Thanks!
Femicide09 2 years ago
So when its on, do you still get the same sustain? or does it cut the time that notes are held?
fleaandstump 2 years ago
You can dial the decimation level low so the signal's sustain comes through, yes. This clip actually has it on that low threshold, as you can see by how I hold it long on the distortion channel. But yes it can also be set high so it will clip the main signal too, like for heavy metal riffs.
Jahnli 2 years ago
Oh ok cool, thank you.
fleaandstump 2 years ago
that's awesome! how much did you get that for and where?
sprtn117c 2 years ago
These days you can even get it for $130 from Musician's Friend online.

what about Chunky Chops like Old Metallica stuff where theres some chunka-chunka type rythems , with lots of ditsortion.........Can it filter the hiss yet let the full Chunka -chunka come thru?
97warlock 2 years ago
that's actually what it's best at, and it can even gate sharply to help keep those chops tight.

Great demo. I'm going to try one out today. Thanks for the info.
GuitarGirlTS9 2 years ago
so does this stop the noise tht you get when holding the strings and then letting them go lightly
ian7410 2 years ago
Yes it does - that slight sympathetic ringing or overtone feedback will be gone, as will stronger howling and so forth.
Jahnli 2 years ago
Hi nice vid, in which level do you think works better?
vicchavill 2 years ago
it actually doesn't matter if the signal is clean or distorted, as the ISP works on the hum at both levels. You can just hear the hum better when i upped the gain in the distortion channel.
Jahnli 2 years ago
~Thats great...does it suck any tone and is it true by-pass...??
ftele 2 years ago
To my ears it doesn't suck tone much if at all, and I do believe it's buffered, but the levels don't get all wonky like a bad buffer would.

i just got a new one and i was shocked when it said made in china ! are these all made in china or just mine cause it's brand new ! i thought they were made in the u.s.a ! please help!awesome demo by the way !
salchaw 2 years ago
Yessir made in China for all of them.
Jahnli 2 years ago
so this pedal basically just stops the buzzing from the amp?
Jamie2701 2 years ago
Or in my case, the single coil hum from the guitar paired with an amp that probably needs a capacitor change.
Jahnli 2 years ago
and the howling u get from amps at high volumes
Tomrepresent 2 years ago
yep that feedback is gone.

forgot to tell u that i have the "g" model so there's about 4 inputs/outputs so idk what combo to use
Skatrdude583 2 years ago
Ah sorry this is the non-G version, not sure about the G!
Jahnli 2 years ago
damn. thanks anyway man
Skatrdude583 2 years ago
i just bought this and i cant seem to get it to work properly. i have the exact same setup as you but the pedal completely sucks the sound away even when the dials all the way to the left. what did u use for input/output?
Skatrdude583 2 years ago
The normal ISP just has an input and output jack. guitar to input to output to amp, and the sensitivity knob controls how much decimation goes on. Not really sure about the G version, never owned it.
Jahnli 2 years ago
whats the chords you played with the clean effect!? that sounded awsome :)
Elementer93 2 years ago
Barre an Am type chord, then an Em type, slide that Em barre down two frets, slide back up 2, and end on that Am type again!
Jahnli 2 years ago
nice demo =) thx
its stupid, but I have to ask it
if i use a effect pedal, do i have to put like
amp>ISP>effect>guitar
or
amp>effect>ISP>guitar
?
Eiki7 2 years ago
between your pedals and the amp, but your mileage may vary of course!

I bought one..it lasted 20 mins in a rehearsal...contacted isp.and the designer told me to send it from the uk to the states at my expense for repair!!!!!!!..i,m a musician with 35 yrs experience...and what I did hear of this stomp box was not pleasant...if your a bedroom player,by all means waste your money..however...if you need a robust piece of kit to gig with...that doesnt suck tone...buy the boss ns2...it wont let you down...
guitarheroal 2 years ago
I suppose a good working ISP is better than NS-2, and doesn't cut tone, at least not as much as NS-2. The customer support seems bad though.
If you use 4 or more pedals, is this thing needed? let's say we have a wah, a fuzz/sustain, compressor and an overdrive on the pedal board, would that lead to the purchase of such device?
BobMastoras 2 years ago
If hum is there, it'll be there regardless of the amount of pedals you use, so yes it's helpful with multiple pedals in the chain too.
Jahnli 2 years ago
Hey what are you playing on the clean parts?
fredericiscool 2 years ago
Just a Am-Em type progression, nothing in particular!
Jahnli 2 years ago
Why does you're guitar have sounds like this :S
ajaxrulzz 2 years ago
Single coil pickups plus dimmer lights equal bad hum.
Jahnli 2 years ago
OK, I'm thinking of getting a noise suppressor. I'm stuck on either Boss Ns-2 or this pedal. I want Boss because it is good quality and has more features and is cheaper, but I hear this pedal is better as far as tone goes. Which should I get?
