When you think of fun, exciting, life-changing effects pedals, noise gates are not usually the first things that pop into your brain. Mainly geared towards players with louder, high-octane rigs, they are actually quite essential in many scenarios to keep feedback and overall volume at acceptable levels. Not having a ton of experience with these things, we were interested and excited to check out today’s pedal, the DECI-MATE G Micro Decimator from ISP Technologies.
Even without using noise gates, we have been hearing about ISP Technologies for years, as they are definitely one of the front-runners in this genre. The DECI-MATE G is a full implementation of their Decimator G circuit, but squished down into a micro-sized pedal. This gives you the full functionality of the bigger effect, while saving prime real estate space on your pedalboard. The DECI-MATE G provides a fully adaptive release response, which tracks the envelope of the signal and instantly changes the release from super-fast to a long, smooth release for sustained notes. It is amazingly smooth and transparent, and the all-analog design makes sure you won’t alter your tone in the least. The patented adaptive response tracks the envelope of both super fast staccato notes and long sustained notes as well.
Another fun option here is the Effects Loop jack, which we tested out in the demo below. This lets you connect all your high gain pedals in a loop for totally noise free operation, regardless of how much noise your gain pedals create, and then switch to totally clean without having to adjust the threshold. Time and space-saving are on the menu here with the DECI-MATE G, and anyone with any kind of noisy rig would be a fool to not give it a go. Thanks to ISP Technologies for turning us onto the Marvelous World of the Noise Gate, we can’t believe we lasted this long without it. See the DECI-MATE G in action below, and don’t forget to subscribe on YouTube while you’re watching. Cheers!
