Members russellconner Posted February 12, 2006 Members Share Posted February 12, 2006 hey guys...ive pretty much decided on ordering an ISP pedal from DerekB, but have a few questions. has anybody ran one of these with an uberschall? if so, what did you observe with it in front of the amp, and in the loop? i need to eliminate the static/buzz from my guitar, but the preamp noise seems to be the real culprit. my (low-budget)plan is to run the pedal in my effects loop and get both birds with one stone...will this work? once i set the decimator up for the high gain sounds, will it affect my clean channel in any way...besides removing noise? in case its of any relevance, my uber is a rev. 2 and i run the distortion channel gain between 10:00 and 1:30. occasionally, however, i will run the gain up as high as 2:30 or 3:00...just because it sounds unlike any other amp ive had at those levels of crunch. thanks in advance, russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can turn it on and off while I'm playing and I can't even hear a difference. It cuts down on hum big time too, much more than my old NS-2.

Members MadCow Posted February 12, 2006 Members Share Posted February 12, 2006 In the loop if you are using a lot of gain it will affect your clean channel to the point where you have to max out the volume to make it usable. I have run both with the Uber and prefer it in front but think it does a better job at eliminating pre-amp noise in the loop. Just my 2cents.

MadCow: do you meant that the clean channel volume has to be turned up when the ISP is in the loop? how did the ISP do with the start/stop type of playing? did it seem pretty transparent, and not affect the attack of quick rhythm stuff? thanks, russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Les-Zombie Posted February 12, 2006 Members Share Posted February 12, 2006 I use a decimator and I love it, it works great infront with a uber on clean or distortion. It eliminates a lot of the buzz. And it transparent, it doesn't color the sound of the amp. I liked it for starting and stopping, I think it works well.

Then again I have a version 1 Uber without the adjustable loop so that may make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ragnvald Posted February 13, 2006 Members Share Posted February 13, 2006 Th uber FX-loop is parallel, no? I tried the Decimator in the loop of my Cobra and all I got was this horrible sound, but I later remembered I should have lower the channel-volume.. So I need to try this again. Any head should be dead-silent with the ISP in the loop, however it won't be so effective on feedback they say, but I think it can be controlled.
