ISP Technologies Decimator Noise Reduction 2000s - Chrome

Cut the Noize!

The ISP Decimator Noise Reduction pedal works! It does its job and doesn't complain. It's built solidly (heavy, almost 1 lb, 8oz), and does not add any noise of its own. You dial in the control to just where your noise level is, and bingo, no noise. ISP has come out with several newer generations of this pedal, but they cost more for doing pretty much the same thing.

This pedal was bought used from the Guitar Shop in Madison about five years ago. It has been used in my pet-free, smoke-free home since then. It doesn't smell like smoke (like at least one currently for sale does), so it was cared for before I bought it. It has some fine scratches and some of the graphics are worn, but still readable.

This pedal does not come with a box, instructions, or a 9V AC power adapter.

I'm selling this unit because I have too many pedals and this one takes up a bit too much room on my board. I also don't have a lot of noisy equipment, so I don't really need this one. It could easily be attached to your amp with velcro and left off your board.

Here is some additional info from ISP on the Decimator pedal:

"The Decimator guitar pedal offers a new approach to Noise Reduction processing with a high level of performance. Most noise suppression systems suffer from one major problem inherent in their design: The system cannot be immediately responsive to very short-term staccato notes. The typical downward expander sound reduction system suffers from a dead zone in the release response characteristic that causes a compromise in tracking both fast decaying notes and long sustained notes. The Decimator pedal's 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. The Decimator noise suppression system is very transparent delivering high performance.

"The Decimator pedal by ISP Technologies is extremely easy to use; simply insert the Decimator at the end of your chain of existing pedals or, insert the Decimator Pedal in the effects loop of your amplifier to clean up the noise present at the amplifier input as well as the noise in the amplifiers pre-amp section. Packaged in a rugged, beautifully polished smooth chrome chassis, the Decimator pedal offers reliability, performance and beauty in one compact pedal."
