QUESTION:
What is the difference between the “normal” decimator and the “g-string” model? The only difference I know of is the one is more expensive. I have an MXR Noise Gate but it colors my tone I notice and doesn’t get rid of that 60 cycle hum. I want to upgrade to something a little more expensive
possibly if it means I will sound more professional. Thanks.
ANSWER:
The Decimator has two jacks (Decimator IN and Decimator OUT), the G String has four jacks, Guitar IN, Guitar OUT, Decimator IN and Decimator OUT. The G String is designed to track the Guitar output directly and insert the Decimator block in your effects loop or after your gain pedals. This is a much more effective way to control the noise reduction providing better noise reduction and better tracking for smoother operation. This also allows you to use the decimator in your effects loop and never need to switch it off when you change settings from high gain to clean.
