O.K! Interesting video Sweet Water. Seriously looking at this product, but for me using single coils mainly I've noticed when incorporating a EUNA 29 boost at the start of my single chain the hum has dramatically increased with low gain using either a Magnatone Twilighter Stereo, Vox AC 30HW60 or J-Mod 100. Agree a boost pedal will increase any noise level, but can i incorporate this with in my j-Mod effects loop and more importantly using with OX Attenuator via a combo tub amp. Look forward to your reply Paul :)

Eliminates 60 cycle hum? But Ryan is my favorite channel

This is gold, hahaha

FINALLY another demo of this pedal! I think my quick video was the first consumer demo of this product, so I'm happy to see it getting more attention. I have one of the absolute worst noise environments a home player could ever have (likely due to massive amounts of EMF being emitted from nearby transmission lines). Even super clean tones have a nasty 540Hz hum, and adding gain just makes it worse. This pedal has basically saved my guitar playing, and I can't than the folks at ISP enough for creating it. If you're considering this pedal and have questions, don't hesitate to ask!

[@TomCouture]

My apartment might be on par with your environment (or worse) so I immediately grabbed one of these used on Reverb for $330 immediately as a last ditch effort that doesn't involve moving, lol! Arrives tomorrow. Can't wait to see if it will help solve/at least reduce the noise issue I've been trying to solve for a long time.

[@mofongotron]

@@TomCouture oh wow! Please keep me posted! I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have. I figure people who need this pedal should stick together, haha.

[@RJRonquillo]

Wow! I'm into this. Seems like a great design.

[@ogmakefirefiregood]

Great product. Needed that back in my garage band days. 3 amps, 1 extension cord.

[@druwk]

How does it handle Fuzz? Guitar volume impedance/volume roll off moving into the signal path?

[@stiffmeister0hYeah]

I just tested this with a Friedman IR-J. It definitely works but I have a Freidman pedalboard + Buffer Bay 6. Can I plug my guitar into the buffer bay (bottom right of board) then the ISP? guitar input? I plan on mounting the ISP UNDER the Freidman 1529 board it has two different heights for the rows. If it does not fit...I will respond to this comment.

[@MotorcyclesMetalandMayhem]

Soooo dumb question, but in order for this to work, I have to use the send and return on my fx loop too? Because I just have the guitar 1 and 2 inputs going, and it doesn’t work at all as far as hissing and humming

[@boimesa8190]

Ok but do the decimator pedals also remove noise while playing??? Some people say yes, some say no...

[@mofongotron]

The Hum Extractor removes the 60Hz noise (and associated harmonics) while playing, yes.

[@boimesa8190]

@@mofongotron in the G string pedal?

[@mofongotron]

@@boimesa8190 on the Hum Extractor + Decimator G pedal. The Decimator II G string is something else entirely and will not actively remove noise while playing (like literally any other noise gate).

Buck and his team are genius.

[@stevenadolna]

Can you plug it into your 9v power supply along with your other pedals or is the power supply for this pedal different?

[@sweetwater]

Hello, great question! That pedal requires 9V AC and 800mA of current. Most 9V supplies are DC and do not supply that amount of current, so it would be best to use the included power supply. Something like the 1spotProCS12 does have a 9V AC 800mA output: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/1SpotProCS12--truetone-1-spot-pro-cs12-12-output-isolated-guitar-pedal-power-supply Thanks!

[@aidanoliver8209]

What if you on't have an FX loop but want the distortion.

[@turtlefeet7722]

Is there a plugin version?

[@johnnysjamstudio1607]

Felt like the output volume was a bit attenuated and trimmed post switch-on of the unit, which could be handled downstream, but overall a good looking unit.

[@YouTube372a]

How do you set the threshold and filter tracking? Instructions aren’t clear, they just say to turn clockwise until desired setting is achieved. What am I supposed to be listening to?

[@YouTube372a]

Anyone? I could really use some help I reach out to isp directly and they won’t respond.

[@sweetwater]

Hi J JK, great question! The threshold determines what amplitude of signal is allowed through the noise "gate" so it will depend on the signal to noise ratio of your setup. You basically want to keep it as low as possible to maintain dynamic control, but turn it just far enough clockwise to eliminate the "idle" noise. With the filter tracking it just depends on the nature of the noise, so experiment and see what sounds better. Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1281, [e-mail]

[@fredvaineo3509]

Wish mine worked..at times it seems to..other times it does nothing against him..and most times hum it stopped when not playing but once you begin it is there very noticeable until I turn the gain down too much

[@Thwumpus]

Is a downward expander the same thing as a gate?

[@michaelcraig9449]

What if you play Stratocaster and classic 60-70's Fender amps with no effects loop on the back? I also dont want it to cut off the end of the notes or chords real short.. I am not a metal hesher, I am a loud classic rocker, I like classic 1969-1970 type tones best.

[@JohnieeJuiceboxx]

The video demoed a heavy or with distortion sound. Will this also work for a regular Strat 60 cycle hum (neck p/u) on an edge-of-breakup sound? For example using class A type amps?

[@sweetwater]

Hi, Johniee! Good question. Two part answer… One; 60 cycle hum from a traditional single coil pickup can only be reduced by utilizing a secondary stacked coil internally to the guitar. No external product will remove that sound. Two; noise reduction is a balancing act between the operating idle sound of the amp or pedal and your playing dynamics. Objective is to decay notes as naturally as possible while also reducing the background sound of the gear. Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them!

[@davidmhuey]

Wonder if this would work with jazz bass?

[@gitarman666]

Is this exactly the same as their rack unit?

[@mofongotron]

I believe so

[@the92project]

I like the promise but this demo didn’t show enough. I’ll look for more

[@mofongotron]

I made a quick demo back when I first got it!

[@Dirge4july]

I got the g string. An amazing pedal.

[@boimesa8190]

Does that also remove noise while playing?

[@gitarman666]

Vs boss Ns-2? Malmsteen‘s favorite

[@mofongotron]

This pedal is the future; this is what other companies will be trying to copy.

[@ramencurry6672]

Wow. I need this

[@joejones4237]

bought mine

[@RickMichaelis63]

Nice!!!

[@JamesSmith-fb3ch]

Awesome

[@peterhughes8699]

Looks great but has 1 big problem - it's too BIG and takes up too much real estate on a pedal board :)

[@kilroy2517]

Has another big problem. It's $460.

[@styxlover908]

sounds great but wow expensive

[@styxlover908]

Hey Sweetwater, is this you guys or spam?

[@minerForAHeartOfGold]

😍

[@petermgruhn]

Okay, I have no idea if this will do it or not, but it needs to be able to do this : You get up on stage, plug in and there's all sorts of horrible plugging and humming and feedback like there's SUPPOSED TO BE cuz this is rock and roll. Then it slowly fades it out while you pretend you know how to check the tuning that the guitar tech did five minutes ago. If it can allow me to unplug in a noisy fit of rage without having to fuss for the little off button like a delicate china doll before storming off stage, that would be a bonus.

Yea500 bucks nope not gonna happen no pedal none are worth 500 bucks

[@petermgruhn]

"Pretty amazing, right?" No. You turned it off and started talking before my ears could really get a chance to adjust to the change. It sounded like it was pretty good, but I know the ramp on my ears and wasn't given half a chance. Then you stopped talking and started playing. So no, not amazing. It kinda felt like I was being played by a salesman not given an honest demo of a product which may actually be good. I'll never know, cuz SKIP.

[@ezer0923]

Don't know what you're talking about Pickups on made really bad hum The moment the decimator was engaged the hum was either gone or almost none existent.

[@craigr777]

@@ezer0923 Peter is right, Mitch's talking started within 1/2 second of him clicking the Active Button and they should have edited in another second of what the pedal calls "silence" before he started talking or playing - like Peter said - to give your ears a chance to not only adjust but to actually hear the silence. I thought the same thing when I saw 1st time and rewatching makes it more obvious. His playing was too showy and left no room (space) for the listener to hear any possible noise or bad artifacts of the noise reduction. And I'm not suggesting a long video - it could've been the same length without the 30 second solo. All we need is a few sustained notes at varying gain (volume knob on guitar) and pick attack (hard/loud vs soft/quiet) so we have the space to hear signal vs noise & redux-artifacts. It's about showcasing, not a bunch of talking and selling.

Talk too much.
