Does anyone use a Decimator? And if so does it help out alot with the strings you are not playing buzzing?

Posted by: Muris Feb 28 2008, 07:51 AM

You mean fret buzzing?

Just helping with the strings you arent playing from ringing, kinda like helping with your muting a little

Posted by: Muris Feb 28 2008, 08:05 AM

Well not really,it's doesn't work that way I think.
It's just like any Noise Reduction unit,it'll hide noise and hum which is most often
at high gain settings,on single coil pickups in 90% cases.
As for the string muting,you'll have to do that part by yourself.

I havent tried this one, but i do know that the Boss NS-2 noise supressor is one of the best on the market. Unlike most noise-supressors, it doesnt alter the tone in a bad way.

But like stated above, it doesnt mute strings.. it only helps with removing noise

NS-2 is great as well.
I've read some good stuff about Decimator tho,
like work smoother while doing reduction or som.
But this Boss pedal is fine,and less expensive if I'm right.

It's important to emphasize that a noise gate only removes hum when you are not playing - so it never "cleans up" your playing.

Noise gate erase the "humm" noise when you don't play guitar. It's easy to use, you chose the db that noise is gonna erase... for instance if you choose -40dB all the noise from -50dB is gonna be erased. BTW if you play a harmonic you would have problems because harmonics have low volumen and maybe this gate would erase it if you put the gate too high...

(WOW it's really difficult to explain it in English !!!! hehehe)

Lol. Love the name of the device Decimator for Noise reduction It doesn't help stop buzzing from other strings no unfortunately. Only your left hand and right hand can be used for that

Posted by: Smells Feb 28 2008, 01:42 PM

Did a fine job, no problems understanding here mate

Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Feb 28 2008, 01:50 PM

SUre it muted the strings... it also helps to get a more concrete sound, better bends, precise picking..

just kidding, this baby has only one pot and it says "dB" on it. It means that it gates everything bellow current "dB" value. It doesn't have pots saying "dB of the strings buzzing" or similar

Posted by: Muris Feb 28 2008, 01:52 PM

Handle a copy of it over here mate, fully needed

Posted by: Smells Feb 28 2008, 01:55 PM

not very often you`ll find me disagreeing with you here Muris but your English is just fine

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Feb 28 2008, 01:56 PM

Both Juan and Muris' English skills are fine. I understand every word which is more than I understand with what I write most the time

Posted by: Muris Feb 28 2008, 02:09 PM

Well we are still struggling with it a big time,but thanks,it's nice to hear!

Posted by: Juan M. Valero Feb 28 2008, 02:41 PM

Thanks !!! sometime I spend lot of minutes finding the correct word but finally I understand almost all that people write

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Feb 28 2008, 02:49 PM

That's good that you understand and can use English well. There are a few parts of English language that are very complicated but fortunately they are used very little

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Feb 28 2008, 03:04 PM

"I think that that that that that boy wrote should have been a which"

That is complicated English but it is correct English

I used and ISP decimator in front of my 6505 while I owned it and it did an incredible job of removing feedback and noise. If you do decide to get one, I'd HIGHLY recommend getting a power adapter though because it sucked through the included batteries the first day I owned it and it really kills your tone when the batteries start dying, and no one likes that. Get a OneSpot adapter, they're great and convenient.

Posted by: Fran Mar 21 2008, 12:53 AM

LOL that was a good one!

Posted by: Juan M. Valero Mar 21 2008, 01:12 AM
