ISP Decimator X - Mini Gate!

[@blackwaterpark011]

Even with it on after you stop riffing there is like this echo that rings or something. I had the same issue with the regular decimator. My MXR smart gate does not do that and no tone suck.

[@louistorres]

I'll try it in the loop too but yeah, you can hear that little ring before it gates. I'll check the Smart Gate next since lots of guys like that one! Thanks brother!! :)

[@matttaylor1449]

The ringing is there even when the gate is off. It's something else in the room vibrating. Too loud.

[@louistorres]

@@matttaylor1449 it's the gate bc when I just connected my Fortin Zuul, nothing. It's weird how the gate closes but I'll do another video comparing the Decimator X, Decimator II and Decimator G String tomorrow. :) I hear it too, almost like a rattling glass. No glass in the room though but I know what you're hearing.

[@blackwaterpark011]

So many noise gates lol.

[@louistorres]

@@blackwaterpark011 hahaha! I know!!!

[@DR440]

I've used quite a few gates and I think the ISP decimator works as good as anything else. They can be bought cheap as well on the second hand market! I have noticed no tonal coloration when using it either.

[@dvdpz89]

Had no idea this existed. Thank you!

[@louistorres]

I love this little guy! My buddy Dido Roman sent me these two noise gates and as a thank you, I gave him my Lone Wolf Audio Endless Blockade noise gate.

[@jaxn13]

@@louistorres how did the lone wolf gate do?

[@zandig666]

Thank you sir !!!! I need a noise gate, now just to find an acceptable one If you are just a living room metal head which one would you choose price vs features ??? Size doesnt matter to me but i see you r saying the decimator 2 is better ??!!!?🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@louistorres]

The KMA Pylon is incredible! There's one on reverb for $200 right now.

[@thehoppo]

did you try it in the loop holmes?

[@louistorres]

No, but I really should right now! Thanks bro. Let me turn it on again... I was running it through the front.

[@thehoppo]

@@louistorres lemme know if it's better

[@ultimatemetalguitartones]

Hey man, tsup? How do you like ur 2x12 marshall?

[@louistorres]

Love it a ton! Sounds great with the G12t-75 or V30 speakers and a split between them works too! Make sure let's the 1936 212 cabinet, it's built like a beast, unlike the cheaper MX 212 model. :)

hola Louis, has probado con un Lehle? tienen un kill ground loop. you must try with a Lehle

[@louistorres]

Nunca, primo but I've heard of them! Tengo que buscar uno! Thanks for the heads up, hermano!! :)

@@louistorres estare atento a tus reviews...saludos

[@anahowana]

What is your opinion of the Rocktron Hush super c ?

[@louistorres]

Don't make fun of me but Iactually have one and haven't used it yet! Haha! Mainly because I use the Hush IIC more often. I'll hook it up tomorrow with my Marshall 9000 preamp. :)

[@anahowana]

@@louistorres Oh yeah !! Now I'm starting a countdown and looking forward to hearing from you ! I have the possibility to buy either an ISP decimator pedal, or a Rocktron Hush super C rack. The seller offer them at the same price so I'm torn ! I even started a topic on rig talk but I would love to know your opinion cause it's valuable. My rig consists of Rocktron Piranha preamp, Rocktron Intellifex Blackface, and Mesaboogie Fifty Fifty

[@louistorres]

Bro, you're into racks! Get the Hush and keep it all within the same enclosure! From my understanding, and I like my Hush IIC, is that the Hush Super C is much better. That being said, if you don't have the space, then get the ISP bc I have one too and it's a great noise gate.

[@anahowana]

@@louistorres I surely love me some racks, and I like them big haha )) Yeah bro, both Hush super C and ISP get positve reviews, yet some say ISP is a tad better in keeping the core signal intact, and others say that once you hit Rocktron's Super C sweet spot it's set and forget, dunno, I will maybe take Hush super C between the preamp and poweramp, then later add ISP in front of the preamp. But I will be surely looking forward to hearing from you whenever you manage to use the Hush super c!

[@JMK-kb1yq]

I wish there was a noise gate to hook up to my wife; because she always talks when I'm watching tv...

[@louistorres]

Hahaha! It does exist! It's called divorce papers!

[@brianmcgonigal229]

Ha!

[@louistorres]

@@brianmcgonigal229 it's the best real life noise gate! But it can backfire at times too, just depends on how feisty she is! ;)

[@jamesanderson9428]

I got a China version of this it looks and sounds almost identical from what I hear and see in the video the only difference is mine is white and has a switch for tight and loose modes it would be interesting to a/b them and see if there’s any difference it’s a rowin noise gate cost me 25$ on eBay so far it’s holding up pretty good

[@JayBruceWorld]

Still holding up?

[@robiv7683]

I'd love to see you review the Rowin noise gate.

[@louistorres]

Man, I have so many noise gates right now, they're falling off the shelves!! : )

[@TornacenseDeFuturo]

Hi, which noise gate would you recommend in a 150-200$ budget?

[@louistorres]

It depends on the amp that you're using. If it's noisy, you'll have to get a much better noise gate and not one from say EHX.

[@TornacenseDeFuturo]

@@louistorres - I'm using the Marshall SV20H.

[@willtato8778]

I don't use a noise gate, not because of the sustain, but because I actually like that extra noise. It's not a skill thing or anything, but I just feel it sounds fuller personally. Edit: permission to call me weird

[@Pyrographx]

I have the tiny (about half the size of the one you are demoing) Hotone Noise Gate and I think it is way better than that thing!

[@guitarforall]

2:04 😂😂

[@mrstratocaster]

I have no problem with those noisy thing and i dont use any noise gate pedal..

[@floods2]

Did I hear Merauder?...awesome video!

Torres on the up. More enthusiasm than Ola. Torres comes off as more of a fan living the music. Ola more business. Torres FTW!! HAIL!

[@louistorres]

Hahahahahaha!!!! Funny enough, I felt like Ola crossed over when he leased office space. I mean, he owns Solar guitars so I get that but it's leaning towards a business model, which good for him. I feel like I wouldn't be here if not for him and so many of those guys but I'm a different flavor. I'm not silly like Stevie T, so I can't relate. Some guys aren't funny, so I can't relate. Some are too scripted, so I can't relate and I decided... I'm going to start my own bc someone's going to one day laugh at my craziness. Hahaha! Thanks for always being awesome, brother!

[@grahamkelly8299]

The boss ns 2 is much better and a lit cheaper and can be adjusted better to. I ordered one of these based on its reputation. But every youtube demo I've seen so far, it sucks
