hiss ( frequency noise gating) and true by pass is a jam. So for me I will choose the Sentry .
????????????
I am convinced $$$.
Yet shouldn't it be a better implementation if TC were adding an additional turning knob for frequency that is engaged when the hiss switch is turned on.
Awesome Job dude!! very complete guide!! Cheers!
Revv G8 ????
You sir, are a smart cookie.
You should have tried the "c*ck blocker"
The mxr noise clamp has a switch under the hood that allows you to run it in 4cm. After flipping this switch it completely helped my noise issues through the fx chain,preamp and fx loop. It might not have a fast response like the decimator but it was really cheap at a pawn shop and did what it was purchased for….thank you for the video.
Planning on getting a Boss NS-1X this weekend. Thanks for the very informative video.
That helped a lot. Thanx.
Best one to get rid of p90 noise?
Excellent video, really showed us what was needed & more! I have a Decimator which is great for what I do, but the on/off switch broke so I had to but a Silencer quickly 2nd hand, a lot more fiddly but still did the job, just cut the feel a bit short, but I think with a bit more tweaking, will be fine… but I miss my Decimator to be honest, waiting for them to get back from NAMM to send me a new on/off switch!
13:10 18-20 khz often would be cut in a mix though
Brilliant video bravo!
Fantastic video!
I can see the sadness in your eyes. everything is beautiful
I'm surprised about the Zuul too. The trigger light is super useful on stage though so it's staying on my board
Please do a review of ISP Decimator X ????????
Why is the NS-2 better than the 1-x ???!!
Difference in the 18-20 kHz matters? After teenage you already start loosing that range of hearing to begin with.
19 minute video on silence? Okay, lets do this ????
I HAVE A friedman jj jr. its high gain and i have a old house with dirty electricity. i dont run any pedals right now except for a wah and tuner. now on the gain channel she hisses really hard even without a guitar connected.
fortunately i the amp has an effects loop.
which should i go with , tc sentry or the isp gstring?????????????????????????????????????????
Thanks for the amazing shout-out, very objective, evaluating relevant parameters and results in an appropriate way, with valuable graphics. Definitely one of the best reviews !
Thanks for this, Needed a good one for studio use and high gain reamping
Have you tried the Guptech MWAC?
You are awesome holy fk
Dude, do you have a patreon or something so I can throw some change in your tip jar? This is how you do a damn review right here!
Jerry Cantrell uses the Smart Gate, always
Gotta love femenized men……
So the Fortin is all hype, basically …
Lose the man bun
High gain on bass? I am getting annoying noise when I play notes that have a loud harmonic (like on the 5th fret). My left hand muting isn't enough to stop it. I am working on my right hand muting, but when I play fast runs, I can't mute it. What pedal would you recommend?
Noise Decimator has been my go to since I started playing guitar in 2012. Took 13 years before a part actually broke, the power input jack popped in.
But one question: why you didn't try the toneprint mode on the Sentry ?
And maybe check how it goes designing the parameters to your needs and prefernces ?
Every pedal review should be like this one !!
Thank you !!
The MXR sounds awful
Hey, um I don't even go here. I play country chickin pickin. I just wanted to say, I've never seen a gear review do things this scientifically. A purely technical approach to a pedal shoot out is so refreshing. Not a flowery adjective in sight. The graphs. The table on the left to keep us all on task. That's how you do shit.
One of those things when you go out and buy the ISP decimator because you hear good things… Then you check reviews after the fact in wonder if that buyer's remorse that kicked in is accurate ???? G string II faired well enough to tame the noise for me!
Arcade audio noise gate actually is a very popular one. Well, not particularly arcade audio's one.
The thing is that exactly the same gates are sold under many brand's names such as donner, mooer, rowin etc.
Great video, thanks for the info. I love the Pigtronix Gate Keeper Micro. Small footprint and very effective
Amazing review. Thorough as fuck. Thank you!
My son, you really put in some god work on this video! But ahhh, that #TONE… you know you could have provided a far better tone that that – moreover given that we have to listen to so many examples.
Ive never heard or seen anyone putting their gate in the fx loop, they always put it in front of the preamp
Outstanding review, thank you!
What an amazing video thanks so much man. I ended up buying a Boss NS2 today, tried it out in the store and it works perfectly for what I need (4 cable method)
Going into a power amp with just an input. The fortin zuul mini looks like the best one to go with.
Best review I have ever seen about Anything
What about the revv g8
ISP is from the original godfather of noise reduction. The founder and designer of ISP was the inventor and founder the famous Rocktron Hush systems of the 80's and early 90's. ISP is good stuff.
Awesome review, thank you!
Thank you for doing the work here. I didn't get much from the silencer, so, I left gates out of my sound. The clean trigger concept never occurred to me. I'll be dusting the ehx off to see if it was judged prematurely.????
