Are you tired of permanent background noise from pickups and pedals? Your audience sure is! The Decimator X G String pedal from ISP Technologies lets you enjoy more music and less noise with marvelous handling for clean and high-gain tones. The Decimator X G String’s unique signal tracking detects dynamics precisely where they begin ? at the guitar. This empowers seamless switching from clean tones to high-gain mayhem, all without moving the threshold dial. It’s transparent, effortless, and automatic! This pedal builds on ISP’s patented noise reduction tech with new adaptive circuitry you can tweak for short notes and sustained sound events or to fight 60-cycle hum coming from single-coil pickups. Moreover, this enhanced circuit gets rid of tone-sucking artifacts, like the strange modulation sometimes introduced by yesteryear’s attempts at noise reduction. Plus, the Decimator X G String’s built-in effects loop lets you hone noise reduction for high-gain pedals or use it with your amplifier’s preamp section. Guitarists at Sweetwater relish the sound of high-powered guitars and loud amps, and the Decimator X G String is the ultimate way to reduce noise and increase enjoyment!





Choppy staccatos or slow sustain ? Decimator X tech goes with the flow!





The Decimator X G String offers ISP’s most adaptive noise reduction technology yet. Transparent tone and natural decays are the name of the game ? they always have been with Decimator tools ? but the retooled automated release time changes are better than ever before thanks to variable integration time window technology that automatically slides down in response to negative audio peaks. Veteran Decimator fans will find sustained events get the biggest performance improvements. Slow-decay power chords, screaming drawn-out leads, and ringing open chords can now be had without any intrusive modulation artifacts sullying your big moment. The tech is immensely powerful, but using it couldn’t be easier. The intuitive threshold control puts you in the ballpark where you need to be, and the pedal handles noise reduction from there. Fast staccato passages, dramatic pauses, lengthy decays ? enjoy them all with a natural sound when you engage the Decimator X G String!





Stage-ready routing and tour-grade durability





The Decimator X G String noise reduction pedal lets you fearlessly take its patented sound-enhancing tools on the road or to the studio. Its ultra-rugged tank-like chrome enclosure handles the rigors of the road and gigs without burning out. Beyond common instrument jacks, the Decimator X G String furnishes send/return jacks for use with your preamp section or pedals. Furthermore, dual-link ports located on the rear panel let dual-channel amp and stereo rig users synchronize noise reduction across multiple live signal flows by using two or more Decimators simultaneously.
