ISP raises the bar on ultimate guitar performance with the
new, novel patent pending Decimator ProRackG.
The Decimator ProRackG was designed to provide the maximum
possible performance in a rack mount dual channel noise reduction system
designed specifically for extremely high gain guitar amplifiers. It is the
only system in the world designed with two channels of single ended noise
reduction configured specifically for high gain guitar applications allowing one
channel to deliver noise reduction for the guitar directly and a second channel
to eliminate amplifier gain noise. Channel one eliminates the 50 or 60 cycle
hum, buzz, stage light noise and any other noise picked up directly by the
instrument. The ProRack channel one output drives the front end of your guitar
amplifier and eliminates all of the input noise picked up by the guitar. The
control circuit of the second channel detects and tracks the guitar signal
directly while the signal processing audio chain is patched into the effects
loop of the high gain guitar amplifier. Now you can quiet down even the most
insane amounts of noise with any amplifier system incorporating a series effects
loop.
The Decimator ProRackG will also solve the typical high
gain feedback or squealing problem that the high gain guitar player fights. You
know how difficult this problem can be. You play staccato notes and in between
each note you have a squeal or burst of feedback that's virtually impossible to
control. Problem solved with the Decimator ProRackG. By proper setting of the
threshold for channel one and channel two you can eliminate this problem for
good. The Decimator ProRackG has dual processing channels incorporating both
low-level downward expansion and dynamically controlled low-pass filtering in a
very easy to use single rack space unit. 
The Decimator ProRackG is based on ISP Technologies patent
pending “Time Vector Processing” which provides the most adaptively dynamic
release response characteristics of any real time noise reduction system. The
patent pending Time Vector Processing dynamic response circuit is used to
control the release time constant of both the downward expander and dynamic
filter. Not only does it deliver the most stunning noise reduction, it also
solves the problem of needing to adjust the Threshold setting every time you
change gain or switch channels. By using the input guitar signal to drive both
channels' level detection circuitry, the ProRackG needs no other adjustments
once the thresholds are set based on the guitar input. This will give you the
correct threshold with clean, crunch and even monstrous amounts of gain and if
you use pedals you can insert them in the loop between the output of the
Decimator Channel 1 and the input of the guitar amplifier. The block
diagram shows the typical system connections for use with a high gain amplifier.
Players keep asking how the ProRackG works without any
required change in the threshold when changing from clean to distort, read on:
As you can see from the above diagram, the ProRackG has two channels of noise
reduction. The guitar plugs directly into the channel 1 input and the level and
frequency detectors for both channel 1 and channel 2 measure the direct guitar
input signal. This means that changing from a clean sound to a high gain
distorted will not affect the signal seen by the detectors. This means that you
can use the first Decimator channel to eliminate any noise that the guitar picks
up directly like transformer hum, light noise etc. You simply adjust the
threshold of channel 1 to eliminate this front end noise. The second channel is
inserted into the effects loop of your amplifier (requires a series effects
loop) and this channel will clean up the high gain preamp noise, ground loop
hum, and any other noise that you have in this chain. The beauty of its
operation is that the second channel is working to clean up this high gain noise
but in response to the actual guitar signal, which typically has a much higher
dynamic range than what you would see if this channel's detector's were
detecting the high gain signal. By setting the threshold of channel 2 to
eliminate all of the gain noise when the guitar signal decays into the noise
this will also provide the correct setting for your clean channel.
