Anyone have any good noise gates to recommend for some really high gain music? Mine isn't quite powerful enough

The Decimator by ISP Technologies is a great pedal.

Check out their site:

Not gonna lie, that decimator is mighty tempting. I wonder if L&M or Tom Lee here in Vic have it for less than 200 fucking dollars.

Hopefully, it's an awesome pedal. I can't speak for the Island L&M but I know they mainland ones carry it.

Pat O'Brien from Cannibal Corpse uses it. I guess when you're running a Metal Zone with a Triple Rec one might need a gate haha.

All I'm running is a Peavy 5150 on the lead channel with the pre gain near 7 and post gain at 3.1... That amp has LOTS of distortion though and I'm having a hard to coming to sudden stops and not have an annoying little bit of feedback kick out. I'm maxing out the Noise gate on a boss ME-50 pedal and it STILL isn't stopping everything from coming through...

I am sure you listened to the demos on their site and I am pretty sure that pedal would do the trick. If not then I don't know what is going on.

I don't think the ME-50 is suited that well to be used for such an application. I think a dedicated gate pedal like the Decimator would probably solve your problem. Even the Boss Noise Suppressor is good, that's what Rob Barrett of Cannibal Corpse uses and he runs a Dual Rec into a Metal Zone.

Try either one of those if you can get a hold of one I would suggest.

EDIT:

I just looked for the Decimator and apparently it's available and in stock at the Vic L&M.

EDIT 2:

I just seen this other ISP pedal that I was not aware of and it sounds crazy! It's called the Decimator G String. I wouldn't mind trying this pedal out myself.

Wow dude thanks for the help!

So I found it at Long and Mac and bought it. It's a nice looking chrome pedal and it definitely eliminates a huge deal of hum from my amp. Highly recommended

I figured that would do the trick, the ME-50 wasn't made for and didn't do shit for that kind of thing.

Glad it worked out.

Dead Mike was right on the mark. Ever since Pat O'Brien said he's used all kinds of noise gates etc. He said the Decimator was the best. I've been using one since 2006 for Mecha Mesiah and Tyrants Blood. Marco also uses one. Great pedal. I think it runs $140. I'm surprised more guitarists don't use one.

Its so awesome that the other guitarist in my band went out and bought one immediatelly after me. The only problem I've found is that is tends to kill your sustain when you set it high enough to kill all noise. I have my dial set to about 45%.

turn the gate off.when you want notes to sustain

My tap dancing skills need work. I usually find myself halfway accross the stage when I realize I need to hit a pedal in 2 seconds... Oh the joys of really getting into the music...
