I've been looking to get my rig more gig worthy over the next little while. The first addition I want to make to this rig is a noise gate/supressor. Christmas is coming up and it's not a stretch to assume that a small sum is headed my way. I've read up on a lot of options and people's favorites and I've narrowed it down to this:
Boss NS-2 - $100
ISP Decimator - $160
ISP Decimator G-String - $275
I've always said "You get what you pay for". Which leaves me leaning towards the Decimator G, simply because I've heard a lot of AMAZING reviews for it, both versions of it, in fact. While I've heard some mixed reviews about the NS-2, yet everyone seems to have one. My question is, does the price of the G-string justify it's price point, or would the more simplified version be ample for my needs, being as it's really just the start of an organized rig. If i buy the simple decimator, will i find myself wishing I had that extra loop down the road? Something that the NS-2 already has, at 35-65% cheaper.
Other options are open as well, but these two/three seem to be the most common and most praised. Whatever I go will will probably end up undergoing a trial by fire, as my first gig with my new band will be on the 27th of december, leaving just enough time to set it up and tweak it before shipping out to the first gig.
Anyone have any personal experience with either of these?
