Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Well made & durable Reliability How has it stood up over time? Excellent, no issues Overall Your general opinion of this product. Awesome noise reduction. Works like a charm, very transparent. I have a crazy pedal board and use pedals before my amp and in the loop and this pedal stops any noise. My only issue is that if the threshold is set too high, it cuts off my delay & reverb (They are in the loop). But, for songs I need them in, I shut it off....easy!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? the company has a reputation for quality. it certainly is solid and heavy. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Have had it 4 months, so far so good. Overall Your general opinion of this product. Pretty transparent and it works well. I switch it in if I need it, i.e. extraneous noise is there and bothering me. You dial it to the minimum setting that does the job. I am not convinced that the less expensive ISP would not have been satisfactory, as I have not used one. But I got the G String at a good price.

Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Transparent, if you set the threshold at a reasonable level, just enough to do the job satisfactorily. I think most will set it at about 40db or so. For me, that threshold cuts the noise, and does not affect my sustain. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? chrome, pretty I think Action How was the action out of the box? n/a

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It's like a tank and hope that heft indicates how it's built overall and that it will last a while. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I just got it and I'm wondering why it took me so long. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I have an older 5150 that has always been noisy and has enough gain to pick up RF interference from the neighbor's house. But, after trying a few rackmount gates and even Boss, I was always diappointed that they all chopped sustain horribly and even muddied the sound. Not the Decimator. I will warn that I do have a slight hum when the pedal is on. I attribute that to ground hum that I've been unable to isolate (it's in the whole house). But, the little hum doesn't get any louder as you turn the amp up, be careful of turning the Decimator off with the volume cranked, though...you'll realize how noisy you amp is. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? One control, and it may take a bit to dial it in. Be patient, it's all very worth it. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? It doesn't have a tone of it's own...a point some other manufacturers have missed, I'm affraid. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Shiny. Action How was the action out of the box? Fit and finish were beautiful. I was surprised how heavy the thing is, though.
