Get rid of unwanted noise in your signal chain once and for all. This pedal does this while keeping your guitar's character and attack completely in tact.

ISP Technologies presents the best in high performance Noise Reduction technology, the Decimator Pro Rack dual channel noise reduction system. From the original inventors of the HUSH noise reduction comes the most advanced, patent pending, state of the art technology in real time noise reduction.

The Decimator offers a revolutionary breakthrough in Noise Reduction processing with an unparalleled level of performance. The HUSH system, as well as all other noise reduction systems suffers from one major problem inherent in their design: The system cannot be immediately responsive to both very short-term staccato notes and long slowly decaying signals. The typical downward expander noise reduction system suffers from a dead zone in the release response characteristic, which causes a compromise in tracking both fast decaying notes and long sustained notes.

The Decimator design offers a novel approach to tracking the envelope of the input signal called Time Vector Processing. Due to this novel approach in controlling the expander, the Decimator system will instantly respond to short staccato notes and, at the same time, will provide a very slow ripple free control of long sustained notes. This means that the Decimator noise reduction system is the most transparent and highest performance noise reduction system available.

The Decimator Pro Rack uses both dynamic filtering and low-level downward expansion. A Time Vector Processing circuit controls the release response of both the read more downward expander and dynamic filter. The input of the Decimator Pro Rack is TRS read less

If you think and know what sound you want, this will change your mind for the better, well in my case. I thought I knew and ISP expanded what I wanted to achieve. The Decimator exactly dialed in what I wanted out of my sound, but..It did take a while, about 4 months, tweek here..tweek there. So The Decimator fullfilled my needs and then some!
