Dudgeman Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hi all, Just a quick one I need a noise suppressor on 2 of my pedals..I have seen you tube clips etc..I like the fact that you can loop just a couple of pedals with the Boss..it doesn't look like you can do that with the decimator.. So the question is... Is that right? If you can't just loop certain effects with the decimator is it worth the extra money? What are your opinions on the better pedal with regards to which holds the tone better? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there's any real difference tone-suck wise. Definitely go for the Boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finbar Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Noise gates aren't always for power supply issues. While I agree that every step should be taken to eliminate noise before a noise gate is introduced, they're not something that should never be used, and they definitely have their place.

Dudgeman Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 As it turns out I used my new pedal board at rehearsal last night..All the original hum has pretty much gone..I guess new leads and power supply help, there are one or two patches on my pod that get a bit "Hummy" when used with my distortion pedals but it is a pod problem and i am sure I can clean it up. The board sounds amazing..is really tidy and i have a panel on the right with one jack input and two outputs, for the 2 amps and one Euroline swithed and fused input so I can just carry one powerlead. A big thanks to Johnny and johnnySredfreak for sorting out my power..no more bateries..ever..hurray!... There is room for a couple more pedals..still on the look out for an OC-2..but I am not sure that a noise suppressor in needed. Will post a couple of photos of the board tonight on the other thread.
