The Decimator X from ISP Technologies uses patented Decimator X Technology to deliver advanced adaptive noise reduction, ensuring smooth transitions between fast staccato notes and long sustained tones while eliminating undesirable noise and modulation. This pedal features linearized Time Vector Processing for incredibly smooth sustained-note decay, and includes linking functionality for dual-channel or stereo setups. Ideal for both live performances and studio recordings, the Decimator X offers unparalleled transparency and smoothness in noise reduction.

Decimator X has a new US patent with other foreign patents pending for a new breakthrough in adaptive dynamics for the Decimator product called Decimator X Technology.

Features:

- Adaptive release technology for smooth and versatile noise reduction
- Improved adaptive dynamics than older models
- Eliminates any modulation with slow decaying notes
- Amazing transparency
- New "Integration Release Window" holds a slow release response until the decay of the note exceeds the number of decibels required
- For best performance place all gain pedals in front of the Decimator X
- Place Delay and Reverb effects pedals after the Decimator X to avoid cutting off reverb and delay tails
- Can also be placed in an amp's FX Loop
- Link function allows for two Decimator X pedals to be chained together
- Small, lightweight, & durable enclosure

Nearly all noise reduction system including noise gates and downward expanders use a fixed… read more release time. Some will include a user adjustable release allowing the user to adjust this release time to fit their playing style. This means there is a huge tradeoff between playing fast staccato notes which requires a super fast release time to avoid audible noise, commonly referred to breathing, which appears after each note as the expander releases, and long sustained note used in jazz or blues playing. If a fast release is used with long sustained notes you get a very annoying modulation sound as notes decay.

While ISP Technologies Decimator has always used an adaptive release based on previously issued patents this new technology further improves the adaptive dynamics where the release time is more adaptive and eliminates any modulation with slow decaying notes adding amazing transparency.

With a desire to further improve this adaptive response the new technology now provides a super fast response with staccato notes but virtually eliminates any choppy modulation with slow decaying notes by providing an Integration Release Window. This innovation holds a slow release response until the decay of the note exceeds the number of decibels required by the Integration Release Window. By setting this window to be larger than the ripple of the fastest release response the release will track only the negative going peaks of the decaying audio envelope. By making the Integration Release Window adaptively slide downward based on the negative peaks in the audio signal any and all annoying modulation is eliminated providing the smoothest transparent release response possible. For best performance place all gain pedals in front of the Decimator X. You can put Delay and Reverb effects pedals after the Decimator X to avoid cutting off reverb and delay tails.

NOTE: When connecting the Decimator into the effects loop of your amplifier connect the send to the Decimator II Input and return to Decimator X Output. There is also a linking function to link two Dec. X together.
