don't sell the decimator. run it in front of the pod. thats what i do to save dsp for more space for effects/ eq on my patches. just make sure you plug it in with an adapter, not just the 9v battery...running it on the 9v has actually added noise in my experience. the regular noise gate on the pod seems to eat up your tone. i usually run the decimator threshold somewhere between the -40 and -30...then run the pods hard gate right before the amp block (if necessary). usually the decimator is enough.Oh one more question, I have an ISP decimator and I'm unsure whether to sell it to help fund the hd500 or not. How is the gate on it? I'd be using it with an active monitor AND part of a mesa dual rec rig. With the hd500 being used for most of the modulations.
