NPD: Get Decimated

[UnattendedGolfcart]

I got my second pedal ever, an ISP Decimator II! The guys at Guitar Center helped me decide between this and the Boss NS-2 even though I was already set on this. I'll probably try that one later. But this thing is simple and that's what I like about it. With my EVH in the shop I'm forced to use my little Line 6 practice combo, but the ISP still gets the job done. Not much else to say; it cuts the crap and barely sucks any tone from what I can tell.

Now that I have this and a delay (TC Flashback), I'm probably set for my pedalboard for a while, until I get a tuner and maybe a reverb

Been playing for a bit over 20 years, and the Decimator II was my first noise gate.

Nice. I just picked one up on Wednesday. Needed something to quiet the noise from my Furman PQ3 and it does the job well.

I have the original version and I love it. What did they change on the II? FWIW I also had an NS-2 and I used it for maybe 5 min before I ordered the decimator lol.

Congrats!

Been debating on if I should get the ISP 2 or NS-2? Any recommendations?

Honestly for me the NS-2 was an expensive paperweight.

We all know that is a lie. You can never have enough pedals man

I know lol. I want a tuner, reverb, maybe an OD, a compressor, an acoustic simulator, a tremolo...probably in that order


But hey I'm happy with a delay and gate for now, no hurry!

Do you need a noise pedal for the EVH? I thought it was one of the more quiet amps?

Reason I ask is I have the 5150III 50w for gigs, I am still quite new to live gigs/tube amp thing so not sure if it's worth buying one or not (they are $250US in Australia)

It's not really a complete necessity, but the red channel does get a bit of feedback. I figured why not cut it back, plus I can take this around and put it in front of any amp I need to if I can't be using my EVH. It does help for tightening up the chugs and stuff.

Ok great, thanks for the reply and happy NPD!
