Gainy amps and noisy pedals are no match for the hard clamping and smart gating found within ISP’s Deci-Mate G. This micro-sized adaptive gate manages to pack all the noise reduction of the full-sized ISP Decimator G String pedal, and then some, into its front-pocket format. It’s all powered by ISP’s latest Decimator X noise-reduction technology. Whether you’re creating deep swells or rapid-fire staccato riffs, the Deci-Mate G does its thing without chopping off notes. You can use this pedal inline as you would a traditional noise gate, or throw it in an amp’s FX loop to filter out all the noise generated by your pedalboard and preamp stage. An 1/8" to dual TS breakout pedal is included. The Deci-Mate G’s all-analog circuit ensures absolute transparency with no digital artifacts. Whether it’s a vintage fuzz pedal or a cranked JCM, there’s some part of your signal chain that needs noise reduction. Clean it up effectively with the ISP Deci-Mate G noise gate pedal from Sweetwater.





G String power, micro pedal convenience





The ISP Deci-Mate G gives you the power and versatility of the G String’s loop gating while still being triggered via the direct output of your guitar. This means you can insert the Deci-Mate G into, for instance, the FX loop of your amplifier to filter out noise from everything prior to the power amp and speakers ? dirt boxes, vintage stomps, and even your tube amp’s preamp section ? to absolutely obliterate unwanted noise. This gives the Deci-Mate G superior instrument tracking for country to metal, and intense noise reduction for demanding studio applications.





Decimator X technology offers superior performance





If you play through a high-gain amp, then noise reduction solutions can be frustrating. Typical noise gates chop off your notes, while more sophisticated digital options can compromise your tone. Thanks to Decimator X technology, the ISP Deci-Mate G avoids both of these predicaments. It employs vector integration, which supplies you with flawless adaptive release times. The result is smooth releases, regardless of your playing style. Lightning-fast staccatos? No sweat. Sustained legatos? No problem. With the Deci-Mate G on your pedalboard, you'll hear nothing but silence between your short riffs, and chopped-off sustained phrases will become a thing of the past.





All-analog signal path supplies transparent operation





Unlike some noise reduction solutions, the Deci-Mate G doesn’t digitize your signal. Its all-analog signal path is free of digital artifacts and aliasing, providing you with more than 90dB of ultra-transparent noise reduction. You also get true bypass operation, so there's nothing there to color your tone. A plethora of guitarists here at Sweetwater have long relied on ISP Technologies Decimator pedals for noise reduction, and we’re thrilled by the micro-sized Deci-Mate G.
