ISP Technologies Decimator Noise Reduction Pedal.

The Decimator guitar pedal offers a new approach to noise reduction processing. Most noise suppression systems suffer from one major problem inherent in their design: The system cannot be immediately responsive to very short-term staccato notes. The typical downward expander sound reduction system suffers from a dead zone in the release response characteristic that causes a compromise in tracking both fast decaying notes and long sustained notes. The Decimator pedal's design offers a novel approach to tracking the envelope of the input signal called Time Vector Processing. Due to this novel approach in controlling the expander, the Decimator system will instantly respond to short staccato notes and, at the same time, will provide a very slow ripple free control of long sustained notes. The Decimator noise suppression system is very transparent delivering high performance. The Decimator pedal by ISP Technologies is extremely easy to use; simply insert the Decimator at the end of your chain of existing pedals or, insert the Decimator Pedal in the effects loop of your amplifier to clean up the noise present at the amplifier input as well as the noise in the amplifiers pre-amp section. Packaged in a rugged, beautifully polished smooth chrome chassis, the Decimator pedal offers reliability, performance and beauty in one compact pedal.. ...details

ISP Technologies Decimator G String Noise Reduction Guitar Effects Pedal.

The Decimator G String is a noise reduction pedal that delivers performance like that of the renowned ISP Decimator ProRackG. The Decimator G String provides a totally independent channel of sound reduction that can be inserted into a series effects loop or after a preamp section with the advantage of having the Decimator level detectors track the guitar signal directly. With the G String pedal you can set the threshold and no matter what level of noise the Decimator will track perfectly without any side effects. And the amazing thing is that you can switch from high gain to your clean channel and never have to switch the Decimator G String off due to the threshold being set too high. It's simply transparent.The noise reducing pedal has an input to connect a guitar directly and a buffered output signal to feed the front of a guitar rig directly while providing a separate audio channel of Decimator that can be inserted in the signal chain of any guitar rig. You can insert any other pedals between the output of the Decimator G String and the input of your guitar amplifier. This allows the Decimator G String pedal to remove any level of noise you may have even with overdrive pedals at the front end of the amp.. ...details

ISP Technologies Totally Blues Pedal.

ISP has created a guitar effect pedal that features a novel clipping circuit designed to allow asymmetrical clipping like most tube amplifiers. This feature provides the Totally Blues Pedal with a unique enhancement of the harmonic content of the fundamental note. There is also higher gain designed into the circuit to allow more "push" to satisfy any playing style.To satisfy the blues guitarist's need for tonal versatility a "mojo" control has been designed and incorporated in the clipping circuit. It allows adjustment of the amount of bass being processed in the clipper circuit and increases overall fatness of the distortion circuit, allowing thickening of the fundamental note on initial picking attack. The Totally Blues™ pedal features higher gain than most overdrive pedals and asymmetrical clipping technology. Housed in the same trademark rugged, beautifully polished smooth chrome chassis as the Decimator Pedal, the Totally Blues™ will be an awesome addition to your pedal board! Operates with either a 9-volt battery or a 9V DC adaptor jack.. ...details

ISP Technologies Decimator Pro Rack G Stereo Noise Reduction.

The Decimator ProRackG stereo guitar noise reduction system establishes a new standard for excellence in real time noise filter performance. The Decimator ProRackG was designed to provide the maximum possible performance in a rack mount dual channel noise reduction system designed specifically for extremely high gain guitar amplifiers. The Decimator ProRackG is designed with 2 channels of single ended noise suppression configured specifically for high gain guitar applications allowing one channel to deliver noise reduction for the guitar directly and a second channel to eliminate amplifier gain noise. A separate guitar buffer input and output optimizes your guitar signal.Channel one eliminates 50 or 60 cycle hum, buzz, stage light noise and any other noise picked up directly by the instrument. The ProRack channel one output drives the front end of your guitar amplifier and eliminates all of the input noise picked up by the guitar. The control circuit of the second channel detects and tracks the guitar signal directly while the signal processing audio chain is patched into the effects loop of the high gain guitar amplifier. Now you can quiet down even the most insane amounts of noise with any amplifier system incorporating a series effects loop. The Decimator ProRackG will also solve the typical high gain feedback or squealing problem high gain guitar players fight.You know how difficult this problem can be. You play staccato notes and in between each note you have a squeal or burst of feedback that's virtually impossible to control. Problem solved with the Decimator ProRackG. By proper setting of the threshold for channel one and channel two you can eliminate this problem for good. The Decimator ProRackG has dual processing channels incorporating both low-level downward expansion and dynamically controlled low-pass filtering in a very easy to use single rack space unit. The ProRackG is based on ISP Technologies patent pending "Time Vector Processing," which provides the most adaptively dynamic release response characteristics of any real time noise reduction system. The Time Vector Processing dynamic response circuit is used to control the release time constant of both the downward expander and dynamic filter. Not only does the Decimator ProRackG deliver the most stunning noise reduction, it also solves the problem of needing to adjust the Threshold setting every time you change gain or switch channels.By using the input guitar signal to drive both channels' level detection circuitry, the ProRackG noise filter system needs no other adjustments once the thresholds are set based on the guitar input. This will give you the correct threshold with clean, crunch and even monstrous amounts of gain and if you use pedals you can insert them in the loop between the output of the Decimator Channel 1 and the input of the guitar amplifier.. ...details

ISP Technologies Bass Vector Active Cabinet.

Tired of the limited performance of 4x10 bass cabinets? ISP Technologies has taken a different approach to the modern bass guitar system. Combining the low frequency extension that only an 18" driver can achieve with the natural, extended (but not brittle) highs of dual 8" drivers, the Bass Vector speaker cab achieves a balance of depth, impact, and definition that makes 4x10's sound lifeless by comparison. At low frequencies, a single Bass Vector exceeds the output of a typical 4x10 cabinet by 4dB or more at 40 Hz.A single powered cabinet delivers 600W RMS to it's speakers. When an additional passive cabinet is connected, the amplifier delivers a total of 1000 watt RMS to the two cabinets. The total system power can be further increased by adding additional active and passive cabinets with a limit of 1 passive cab per active cab.The ISP Beta Bass Preamplifier is the ideal 'head' for the system, or the active cabinet can be used with other bass heads when driven from their line output, and the passive cabinet can be driven from virtually any powered bass head.The high performance 18" driver is complemented by an advanced speaker cabinet design featuring optimum volume and a large, deep tuned port. This helps to minimize the non-linear behavior and reduced low frequency output that small ports produce.
