Honestly, one of the best reviews of anything guitar related I've ever seen on KZfaq. Fantastic job not only presenting the information in a highly effective way, but also showing a deep understanding of what you were testing. Thank you for making an ACTUAL review and not just a sales pitch like 99% of the gear related channels on here.

In terms of review structure, clarity of information, supporting visuals, this review is absolutely amazing and sets a benchmark for me across a sea of bs online. Definitely subscribed, amazing work!

I ended up with the TC Sentry - works really well for me

I appreciate the insane amount of work that went on tho this detailed analysis. The decimator wasn't stoked where I live. i wound up getting the Centry. i am very happy with it.

Thanks man. It's nice to see the Sentry did well in this shoot out because it's the only one noise gate that I have 😅😅..

I think your testing was spot on and my EHX Silencer is going bye bye tonight

I bought the Gdecimator ll because of your recommendation years ago, and i don't regret, this pedal is awesome

Lichtlaerm Audio, the key and the gate, noise gate. one knob, set forget. does not ruin your cleans, its as if it is off. reacts to your playing. lead playing shines through. best noise gate on the planet ! made by a metalhead for metalheads. built in volume/signal booster, if required, evens out your effects loop if needed, or increase a few decibels for long cable runs or just because you can. I'll never look back.

I would really like to see the Revv G8 in the mix...

Everybody sleeps on the Hum Extractor + DECIMATOR G because of the price, that thing is insane.

Very informative! I own the sentry!

amazing job dude, one of the best review i ve ever seen. 👍👍👍

Thanks for this. I bought a cheap noise gate and I hate it. This helps me make the right choice.

Good job! High quality content.

What a Great video man , just one thing the Revv 8 should have been there! Keep going man!

My preferred set-up has become a Noise Decimator G-String through the FX Loop at the front of the chain with a NS-2 at the end of the chain.

Excellent video!

Wow, that was a VERY well made Video! Thank you!

Ibanez just brought out the Pentatone Gate. One knob and a switch for very high noise. It has the 4 jack system with an in/out and an in/out to loop in the noise source. The price is $100.00 USD.

I have tried the silencer (no good), the MXR (also no good and I'm a MXR fan-boy so was pretty bummed) and then used a NS2 for years (which was OK). Finally, I latched onto Stone Deaf FX "Noise Reaper". Unbelievably good - similar to the ISP in that it only has one knob but works very very well indeed (in the FX loop). As I tend to mostly play single coil Teles into an Orange Rockerverb 50, I was keen to reduce or eliminate the hiss as much as possible. Noise Reaper works perfectly. Great comparison and this objectively proved to me my anecdotal findings on the ones I had used in the past.

Actually there's a hidden mode on the Boss NS2. Plug it in as normal, set it to mute, disengage the pedal, and you'll see the reduction light is still on but you're signal is still coming through, and then you'll also notice the difference in how it gates the signal, the normal way is better but I found this method completely by accident. Hope this helps

As someone who deals with SEVERE noise issues at home, a noise gate shootout is woefully incomplete without what I believe to be the best guitar noise mitigation product on the market: the ISP Hum Extractor + Decimator. It's unreal. Seriously, try it (I'm also happy to address any questions anyone may have)!

I am a bass player with a solid state amp and no effects loop, but I’ve got a tube compressor with the gain dimed, a drive, and a boost, all of which introduce a ton of a feedback and noise. I’ve been using a Deci-Mate at the end of my tiny pedalboard’s signal chain, right in front of the amp, but I haven’t been happy with the tracking/response time on higher threshold settings as it seems to choke the notes out, if I don’t set it JUST right it sounds like my preamp battery is dying. Not sure where I’m gonna go from here as none of these seem ideal for my uses, or at least not enough to drop over a hundred dollars on as an experiment.

What an amazing review. Thank you!

Great video!!!

what a amazing quality.

Hi, I recently helped my friend Nick compare 22 gates, and we are working to at 8 more gates for a grand total of at least 30 gates. I like your test measurement, but I wonder how it compares to the other video test method? We published a spreadsheet with our findings. I would be willing to give read access so we can compare your testing to ours...

THANK YOU FOR THIS

well done video 👍

Im pretty certain that the ISP has noise reduction as well. Meaning that when the gate opens, it filters hiss and 60 cycle hum from the flowing signal. This is a feature going all the way back to the HUSH noise reduction devices of Rocktron. Buck Waller being high up in both of these companies, taking care of us guitarists for decades. Maybe other pedals have NR as well?

Wow what a great Video in a Time where i actually needed to decide which Gate i want or need! Im going for the Sentry. But i have a question. My Setup is mostly pure digital using a HX Stomp. I want a Gate Pedal so i can have more then the maximal effects on my HX. Meaning, I go Guitar In HX Stomp -> (FXloop) FXsend to OD Pedal into Gate Pedal to FXreturn -> HX Distortions -> HX Clean Amp -> Some HX Delays Reverbs -> HX IR Meanwhile still using the HX build in global Gate which doesnt have such good attack. I want to do this so i can disable the FXloop (which will have the Gate and an OverDrive) and the HX-Distortion to get a Clean Tone. So i can disable the OD and Gate with only a Press on the HX which turns the FX loop on and off. And i also can have my Bass setup by just not using the FX loop. You think i can use the Sentry like this? Like, Clean Guitar from FX Send into sentry, out to OD, back into Sentry back into FXreturn? Great Video man. Very well Made !

great review !!

If you're the player who always complains about how a gate changes your amps tone, seriously consider dialing in your amp with the gate on. (Can't believe I had to post this)

in my country used ns-2 costs 50-60$, i thinks its best choice for budget

Dude you look like Eugene from Jinjer 😮

NS1X > NS2 just saying... only 2 I have 😅

I turn a lot my volume pot on the guitar to get clean sounds and in between… Does the BOSS work for that or does it cut off the signal when turning down the volume pot? Which one can handle that?

🎯

If you could share your matrix somewhere that would be awesome.

what about the Zuul plus?

That MXR one sucks
