ISP Decimator II noise gate pedal.
I work with a good amount of compression and gain, this pedal really keeps all noise under control without touching my tone. One knob set to 1 o'clock, always on, that's it.
Absolutely not "as good". They were very good for the money a few years ago. Now they've sometimes tripled on the second hand market and that's at the top of what they were ever worth, quality wise.
I admit my phone screen is quite large, but it keeps me dry and warm. Even so, only two actual topics fit on the page when opened. New blue shield thing bottom left.
A name change in 1990 would've done the world a service. I love 80s Metallica, though I'm a 90s kid. Newtallica (black album onward) has nothing interesting going on to me.
Still that's all a Stradivarius is, or an original Mercedes gull-wing. There isn't even any metal in a Rembrandt, van Gogh or Picasso but even a manky one would fetch quite a price.
I'm not calling this random bass 'art' but value is rarely dictated by the materials something is built out of.
