Virtual Decadence « The real sound of silence »
Published on 10/15/11 at 01:46Given the weight of the pedal, I think it is in the analog 
UTILIZATION
A knob for the threshold graduated in DB: can we do easier.
SOUND QUALITY
I agree with all previous notices.
I've never had before, except Noise gate on digital multi-effects like the POD XT. They always have an effect either violent or ineffective.
In fact, home studio, I use plugins for the job of my downstream insert effects.
The ISP has nothing to do with it.
The release is still not adjustable smooth and it is significant to the sustain (which are inevitably lost).
I tried several audio configuration (clean, overdrive, fuzz, lighting up all the pedals ...) I have not seen any loss in sound with the ISP. So that point is already a real plus.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it recently.
Initially, I turn it off for clean (I play on a Voc AC15, not only to make the saturated). But finally I found the right set point to keep it on and forget it.
It is first thing in the chain between the guitar and the compressor. It must be said that the main blow is to remove the guitar. My pedals, even the Russian Tall Font, Sovtek Big Muff clone, are silent when not playing. And I am very careful with my choice of patch cables, power supply jack and I have a Voodoo Lab. So my effects chain (fully insert, there is no effects loop on a AC12C1) is really the cleanest possible.
But as soon as I turn the compressor on a guitar (the worst being the single coils on my Danelectro), the breath is such that I repeat the food of my delay. With the ISP Decimator, the problem disappears completely. Really full.
I think I do not extinguish that if I had to produce a very long sustain (over 8 seconds) but it happens infrequently (I prefer playing with my delay).
OK this shit to put much money into a pedal that produces no sound but I do not regret my investment. I trusted the advice of NS2 who complained to the treble level. I do not know if it's a figment of the imagination but in any case, this problem is not with the Decimator.
I think once past the infatuation I would end well for me complaining about the lack of control (in particular the release). But for simple, it's a faultless for me.
Otherwise, it is very classy on my pedalboard.
