    ISP Decimator, eats batteries for breakfast?

    come to think of it, no, i didn't bother unplugging it, i didn't really think it mattered. would that drain the power or something? (p.s. i'm new to pedals, i used to just use straight up amp tone, but i learned of the greatness of pedals through the almighty ss.org.. and periphery xD )

    ISP Decimator, eats batteries for breakfast?

    I never leave my decimator on, but i've owned it for roughly a week and gone through almost 2 9v batteries.... is this normal for this pedal? granted, the week was filled with plenty of playing, but it seems like even once i threw in a new battery the other day, after.. probably 5 hours of...

    ISP Decimator pedal version sucking tone?

    Actually I do believe it was the battery. Since I got it from Guitar Center, my friend inquired about it maybe being the battery because gear at the local GC seems to sit for a long time. I slapped a new Energizer 9V and it was good to go. Thanks.

    ISP Decimator pedal version sucking tone?

    I picked a ISP decimator two days ago and when I went to play today there was a noise that made my guitar sound as dull as if my amp was down the hallway under a blanket. At first I thought it was a cable problem, but through testing all available cables, the decimator seems to be the culprit.

    Noisegate and/or Compressor?

    so, I know a noisegate or a compressor would be helpful, but i don't know which is more important (which to prioritize as far as trying to get it) and what brand/model of either i should go for.... thoughts?

    Question related to tech/holidays

    Ooooo... I like. So is there a way to like, adjust the tension on the strings without altering the tuning?

    Question related to tech/holidays

    Yeah, either option would probably better than what I currently have on there, ive heard lots of nice things about both of those upgrades. I've never tried either however so I don't really know, also why I asked on here. As long as sperzels are easy to adjust and stay in tune fo' sho, (lol) I...

    My Gibson Explorer has an issue :(

    I hate admitting it but I'm probably to blame. I'm almost 17 so I got it around age 11-12 iirc.. I should have been more mature about owning such a guitar. :( *sigh*

    My Gibson Explorer has an issue :(

    It's kinda bad rust :( Hmm... I've had it for... 4.5-5ish years? I'm not sure. I coulda taken better care of cleaning it to be honest, but a couple years ago I realized I should treat it more like gold lol. Other than the rust it's in very very good condition. This is why it pisses me off so...

    Question related to tech/holidays

    Yeah, my explorer is relatively new. I don't mind the pickups in it, and I'm not lazy about tuning, so either option would work really. I'm just wanting some outside views. Thanks though. How much do you think it'd run to have either of those options installed by a tech or whatever?

    Question related to tech/holidays

    So, for my explorer, which would you rather get, seeing as though I'll only have enough money for one of the two (or at least that's how it looks for now)? A) sperzel tuners B) Seymour Duncan pickups (sh-2 and sh-4) If neither of these sound good, recommend something for me that's...
