Looking for noise reduction..[views:9419][posts:47]___________________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 12:30pm - corpus_colostomy ""] a hush, a decimator, an ns-2...whatever works! any one have one they are trying to part with? i'd prefer a pedal, cause i just don't have the dough for any rack shiznit... anything out there? |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 12:31pm - Kinslayer ""] Decimators are the shit. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 2:28pm - fishcakes ""] ROCKTRON super-C |
| __________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 2:38pm - archaeon ""] I have a super-c and its a piece of shit get a decimator |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 2:57pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] ear plugs work pretty good |
| ____________________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 3:16pm - coathangerabortion ""] alesis 3630 you can find it used for under 100$, and although it is a rackmount it will be the best $$$ u ever spent on music equp' |
| __________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 3:37pm - Niccolai ""] I had a decimator and NS-2 I sold the decimator, the NS2 worked much better without loosing any signal quality. |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 3:39pm - corpus_colostomy ""] my old ns-2 was a complete failure. added more noise to my whole setup and in the end shit the bed completely. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 3:51pm - brian_dc ""] I still need to get that decimator fixed. it sploded internally |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 3:53pm - Joshtruction ""] my NS2 shit the bed, and MAJORLY soaked tone it's whole life. I won't recomend that to anyone! Get a decimator pedal and forget about it. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 4:11pm - fishcakes ""] the hush is a piece of shit or your amp? I will put my rocktron up against the decemator any day...Mark has one and it has given him nothing but trouble. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 4:22pm - fishcakes ""] here here |
| __________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 4:51pm - cav nli ""] ive never had any problems with my ns2. i also dont use super high gain but it doesnt effect my tone, when i turn it off its just a little more feedback but the tone is the same. |
| ______________________________ [Apr 17,2008 5:02pm - blue ""] try taking your ns-2 out of your signal path. youll hear it. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 5:06pm - brian_dc ""] I've had issue with my Hush lately. My best left hand muting and how I dial it in it still adds an awkward click sound shortly after I start playing. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 5:14pm - GodlessRob ""] Nick, I have a hush rackmount that I might be will to part with. Fairly cheap. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 17,2008 11:47pm - fishcakes ""] that's what you need nick |

| _________________________________ [Apr 18,2008 5:01am - Martins ""] I have the rackmount ISP Decimator and it's amazing. My amp coupled with the X2N I have in my bridge create SO much feedback and when I have the Decimator turned on, it's the quietest thing ever. It does take a bit of time to set up the thresholds but it's worth it for sure. Best $400 I've spent in a while. I've read and watched some videos on the pedal and seems to work pretty well comparably to the rackmount version. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 18,2008 10:33am - brian_dc ""] cav, even if it sounds 80% more awesome the sounds you get out of that XXX are great with the ns-2 in it. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 18,2008 10:35am - brian_dc ""] I think I'm proof that being outrageously picky about the small stuff leads you to spend all of the money you have on gear. |

I've read and watched some videos on the pedal and seems to work pretty well comparably to the rackmount version. what i find hilarious is that your noise gate is as expensive as your head, your cab and your guitar. My cab was $200 from the Mortalis guitarist, my amp was just under $600 and my guitar was $700 new and it has new pickups and a bunch of new hardware. I don't know if you were taking a jab at my head [:(] but I really like my set up. I'm putting in new power tubes so those should make up for any scratchiness the amp has. I know my tone hasn't been the greatest at the last few shows but damnit I'll make it work. |
| ______________________________ [Apr 18,2008 4:21pm - blue ""] im not taking a jab at anything of yours, i was merely typing the exact thing i thought the first time i saw you guys play. it wouldnt hurt to invest more in other things before a top of the line noise gate, in my opinion. what you have going for a rig isnt bad at all for your age. i had just purchased a blue voodoo halfstack when i was 18 eeeekkkk. |

| _________________________________ [Apr 18,2008 4:24pm - Martins ""] Haha, well if you heard my amp at practice or from older shows you would understand why I needed a noise gate. The feedback was ridiculous. I post on another forum made for the B-52 AT-100 and everyone there recommended the Decimator. I did a bunch of research and am actually really glad I did get it. Next purchase is either an equalizer or a new cab. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 19,2008 11:16am - blue ""] EQ? no. new cab? yes. |

I just compared them heavily through my amps and with my perticular setup, I was getting equal feedback reduction but the NS2 wasn't fading pinch harmonics. I compared them both for about an hour fine tuning each one, and then sold the decimator to Brian DC |
| _______________________________ [Apr 20,2008 11:17pm - blue ""] regardless of the gating issues, the decimator is by far the more transparent choice. the ns-2 has noticeable tone suckage. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 21,2008 8:11am - fishcakes ""] HAHA! tone suckage |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 21,2008 8:21am - corpus_colostomy ""] there are no other choices for me after sat night... my mind done been made up. |

Not through my rig. I ran them both through a peavey XXX (which the decimator did much better in front of) and a KRANK revolution (which niether won because that amp is terrible sounding). |
| _________________________________ [Apr 21,2008 9:11pm - Martins ""] Did you have the two channel decimator? Two channels is keeyyyyyyyy. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 21,2008 9:39pm - brian_dc ""] nah, the footswitch isn't quite so fancy the rack unit is so good and I think I've got the shit that merits it....I don't have the money that does anymore though. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 21,2008 9:46pm - Martins ""] Oh it was the footswitch. I see. Ya the rack is ridiculous. I love it. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 22,2008 11:30am - DJ DEATH ""] I actually just bought a NS-2. Sadly, id like to get the rack DECIMATOR, to try it out, but, my amp is a 1978 Marshall SuperLead, simply no insert loops in it. Decimator sounds like a tone saver, but, the NS2 is definetly more acurate on gating (since its a gate, not a supressor). Using multi pedals though, the NS2 will change its response as you go from Overdrive to Distortion....Just my opinion |
