Hello Gentlemen,

 We have had problems in our nightclub for over two years with our stage monitors. We discovered they did not have crossover boards installed in them. We installed the crossovers, and we are still not happy with the sound. We had a sold out show on Friday (Johnny Cash Tribute), and I was not taking anymore chances. Last week I removed our four wedges and brought in four of your new iSP Triwedges. The act loved them and it was the easiest monitor mix I ever had. For a change we had a great show.

                  Buck; you make a great product and please feel free to re-publish my comment. Thank you gentlemen for making my job a lot easier.

I had the pleasure of mixing a variety of acts at a small outdoor festival using the 12” version of the ISP 4-way line array: model HDL 4212. Luckily for me, even the headliner, Collin Raye, did not have a FOH engineer so I got to try the system with topnotch musicians. I was very impressed by the power/headroom, neutral tonality and well-behaved coverage. I was not able to A/B the rig compared to my customer’s usual Vertec rig (4888 with version 4 processing which I like a lot), but he agreed with my impression that this system had more headroom, and kept it’s tonal balance even at high levels. I especially felt like the vocals were warm, loud and clear; and the system just sounded better as I stepped on the gas near the end of the concert. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked on stage and heard not much off the back of the arrays. And as I walked the house I was impressed by the even coverage, including in the mids where some arrays (like Widelines) have beaming that changes the tonality as you walk left to right. And I was impressed that I barely touched the house EQ all day.

In the months since my ISP experience I have been in many situations where I WISH I had access to that rig. Maybe absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I can't think of a line array I would rather use for corporate, classical or aggressive event applications. It was like mixing on a giant set of studio monitors, a neutral canvas. ISP claims the frequency response is quite flat, and I believe them.

The rig I used was 9 boxes per side, and I think 8 or a dozen small subs across the front/middle. I think the subs were just 12s too, and they didn’t seem to have enough very low frequency oomph for my taste (plenty of 80 hz), though to be fair I didn’t spend much time tweaking them. And yes, the array elements do have little blue lights in front that would have to be covered for some events, but for a 10+ hour festival I enjoyed seeing (from FOH) that all cabs were powered up. ISP needs to work on their signal distribution or processor scheme; currently they use external processors with powered cabs, so they have XLR looms to each cab, which is clunky and I assume dangerous for the HF drivers.

I am excited to see how ISP develops. I hope people give them a chance, because it was a pleasure to mix on that rig and I hope I run into more of them out there.

When my journey started for getting a bass-head or preamp, I came across many options, but that Beta Bass Processor is one of the best preamps out there in the market, the simple looking layout is deceptive, there is some serious technology behind that preamp, including one of the best sounding compressors I have found.  Also, it is the best available for how well it does each of the 3 main feature focuses of this preamp...you get a very nice versatile and transparent EQ section, a great compressor and BUILT IN NOISE REDUCTION!  Which is equally efficient as the stand-alone decimator units.

 

It was one of the easiest decisions I've ever made and I will proudly carry this as my reliable gear...

When we started looking at a new sound system to replace the old center cluster, we knew we wanted to go with a line array.  Coverage, gain before feedback, and vocal intelligibility were our biggest concerns.  Over the span of a few years, we were able to hear many different systems both here in our own building during concerts and at other venues in the area.  I heard a lot of very good systems and was leaning towards a decision until I was able to hear a demo of an ISP rig at Towson University.  After hearing the HDL 4210 array, talking to Buck and Jon of ISP, and Frank Rankin from Towson, I knew I'd found our new system.  We were able to replace the EV speakers in our small theater with ISP LT2's and were very excited to hear the HDL 4210 system in our main arena.  Alumni Hall is a true multi-purpose arena.  We hold over 300 events a year in any of 5 different configurations.  From basketball and wrestling in 360 degree, to ballet and opera events in the Bob Hope Performing arts center.  Our ISP system has amazed everyone that has had the chance to hear it.  We are very happy with the way the HDL 4210 speaker system has been able to handle whatever we have thrown at it.  ISP has been able to provide us with the intelligibility, even coverage and the high quality sound we require and the SPL's to really rock the house when we need to.  I love the results and am very happy with our new sound system.

We could not be happier with our ISP system.  Never have I been in a venue that sounds as good as our current sanctuary.  I was especially impressed with ISP when one of our speaker modules was found to be defective, the owner of ISP personally came out to remedy the problem.  I would definitely use ISP again for future projects.

Ladies & Gentlemen at ISP Technologies,

I'm currently using two Decimator G String pedals - one on a pedal board and one integrated in a rack system.  This is by far one of the best noise reduction devices I have ever bought for guitar applications!!!

Best Regards from Germany,

Hi Buck,

We met at NAMM, and I have been wanting to write to you and tell you how awesome my bass rig is.  We opened for Billy Squire Wednesday and I received numerous compliments on the sound of my bass.  Of course I tried to explain it is the player not the gear - but no one believed me.

My 2 bass vector pros and pre-amp sound amazing.

Thanks, Brick, Crooked Grin

*********************************************************************

WOW!!!  I can't believe my eyes or ears.

Buck, you told me that this pedal would solve the hum I was getting from my strat/tele single coils, and you were right.  It is amazing!!  No hum, buzz, or related noise even with single coils.  I must have switched it on and off a half dozen times and was just amazed, and by the way I could not percieve any noticible tone reduction at all!!

You are the man!!!  Thanks,

Joe Palmer for the Decimator G String

Dear Ms. Waller:

I would like to bring to your attention the outstanding customer service that I received from your service technicians at the end of May 2009.

My teenage son, Noah, plays lead guitar in a Metal band.  He has at least two shows a month and his biggest show to date will be this June 16, 2009.  He swears by his ISP Decimator ProRack G and will not play without it.  During practice on May 26, it appeared that the device was not working properly.  We both panicked.  I am a single mother supporting myself, my son, and my elderly mother.  I get no child support of any kind.  I was sure that there was absolutely no way I could afford to buy a new one for him.  I got online, found your company's phone number,called, and left a message.

Bill immediately called my son back.  He stated that we could send the device to him and he would repair it if we had a receipt.  I have a receipt, SOMEWHERE, but my son had a show coming up in two weeks and I really did not have the time to try to find it.  I explained the situation to Jessica, who was very pleasant and professional.  She told me to go ahead and just send it in without the receipt and they would fix it!  For free and ship it back to us at no charge!!

Well, I must say, I almost fell off my chair!  I thought, really, this is too good to be true!  I packed up the device, mailed it on Friday, May 29, and was even more shocked when Bill called me at work on Monday, June 1 and stated that he was already working on it.  He could not find any problem with it and needed to talk to my son about the specific problem.  After speaking with my son, it was determined that the problem was actually the way my son was connecting or disconnecting something.  He then told him that he was going to go ahead and UPGRADE the device, at no charge, and would be sending it out to us the next day, to insure my son had it in time for his show!!  We received the package yesterday, June 8.

This is an example of EXCELLENT customer service that I never receive.  You and your company are truly the best in every way.  Your technology is top rate and service impeccable.  I cannot remember when I was more satisfied doing business with anyone.  Keep up the great work!  We will tell everyone how wonderful you are!!

To Whom It May Concern:

Wow!  That was my first reaction when we turned the ISP speakers on.  I had kept my expectations low because our old speakers were quite good.  Unless you put speakers side by side, you often don't hear the difference.  However, in this case, there was such a remarkable difference; I was shocked.  Even from the stage we could hear things we have never heard before.  I felt foolish when I found myself looking gor a leak when I heard our rain stick playing through the right speaker. 

We assumed that only those directly interested in sound would really notice the difference.  Instead, the first Sunday several people (3 of them musicians who are not on our team) made a point to come talk to me and with all the superlatives, they all used the same word: "clear".  Every comment was positive.  One of our elderly members said he heard everything for the first time in years.

These HDM 112's could be used in a much bigger facility.  We have seats for 300 and a traditional hight ceiling (40ft.); the speakers are on the lowest volume setting.  Even at that level, we could blow the windows out of the building.  Most remarkable is the violation of the law of inverse squares.  One of our team members kept walking up to the speakers and then to the back of the room because he couldn't believe the sound level never changed.  Even under our balcony, the level only drops 3dB.

My only complaint is now we have to be better.  Every mistake can be heard!  Of course, so can all the great stuff that God produces.

We have been blessed from the first day we met Tom Houtka (Soundoc.net), and we are doubly blessed that he made it possible for us to own these outstanding speakers.  I seriously doubt if there is another sound system to match ours within 100 miles.

Thank you so much!

I've had such a wonderful experience with everyone at ISP.  You can consider me a customer for life, and I will be spreading the word to everyone else I come in contact with about your fantastic customer service.  Its very refreshing to deal with a company that actually cares about its customers for a change!

"I just discovered the THETA head and it is ABOUT time somebody
finally put the eq's both before AND after the gain distortion.
Believe it or not I told Fender to do this twelve years ago and they said two
tone stacks would never work. I am very glad you are proving them wrong.
Also I saw a NAMM video with subwoofers etc. and was very impressed.
BEST of luck and success to you. Congratulations on the decimator pedal also!"

"I have been using the ISP Decimator Prorack G for over two years and after a very long search for a noise reduction system that really works without cutting your notes. I have the Decimator in both my recording and live rigs, Using high gain preamps I just can't live without the Decimator. The recording of my album "Out Of Oblivion" would have been impossible without it. I'm really glad that I finally found a great noise reduction system that really does what it suppose to, I just wish I had it since I started playing guitar!"

"I just recently sent my Decimator ProRack G to you to have it repaired and I could not be any more pleased with your level of service and the product (now that it works properly). My band recorded this weekend and my tone was fantastic. Even with my volume at 5 (on a 5150 that is LOUD) I had very low tube hiss and NO feedback problems. I was incredibly pleased with the sound I was able to produce and I think your product is amazing (I recommend it to everyone, and our other guitarist is buying a decimator pedal very soon!). Besides the great sound though, I shipped the decimator out on Friday, you guys got it on Monday, and I had it back at our practice space and was setting it up Wednesday evening! That is amazingly fast, and the fact that you covered the return shipping and repairs was just was just icing on the cake. I really think that that level of service is hard to find anymore especially with companies that know their products are top-notch, but y'all really have both. Thank you sincerely,

"I was very confused as how to actually hook up the ProRack G to my Mesa Boogie Triaxis. I finally got around to getting things up and running as per your instructions and man oh man, what a HUGE difference in the level of noise!! What an amazing product. My once noisy rig is so quiet that you cannot tell it's even powered on! I am in awe of this product! My hat goes off to you for creating such an amazing product and a huge thanks for taking the time out of your day to help yet another confused musician."

"It is our pleasure to highly recommend Audio Visual and Tony Sprando. In September, after accessing our needs, he put together a preliminary study that showed the best performance sound system needed to upgrade our church's sound. And at a price that was well within our budget. He researched and believed in the system he recommended. Upon completion of certain phases of work, we immediately noticed the overall clarity, and even tone through out the church sanctuary.  The speakers were hung professionally and esthetically compliment our sanctuary décor. There were many compliments on the friendliness of the ISP Technologies group from Michigan. They made a difficult job seem effortless because of their professionalism.  Please know that we have no reservations about recommending Audio Visual and Tony's outstanding and effective abilities.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact our office or better yet come by the church and experience the wonderful sound system.”

"Hi guys. I want to say your decimator pedal is by far hands down the best noise reduction I have ever used as a guitarist, and believe me I am one old dude!
I have it on the effects loop of my amp after ALL pedals etc. It opens so fast I think it is sitting there watching my hands!
So, my Boss NS-2 will make a nice paperweight, perhaps a model ship anchor.
I like the decimator so much I just bought a second one just because.
I am truly impressed!
Take care, keep up the good work!"

"Hi Buck. Its Jason. I sent you an email a few weeks back asking about
the prorackG and my odd rack setup. You recommended the prorackG, and I
must admit I was skeptical. I asked a few more questions but I never did
get an answer from you on that. However I decided to take the plunge and
try it out. I must say that im very impressed. I just wanted to say good
job making a noise gate that actually works. It totally killed my major
feedback problems and eliminated all hum from my guitar. I have a very
noisy rig, and without control it will squeal and shreek to the point
that its unplayable. So, another satisfied customer. My setup is a
Marshall jmp-1 with a Rocktron Xpression effects unit powered by a
marshall el34 100/100 into two 4x12 cabs loaded with vintage 30
celestions. So, if anyone ever asks, it works just fine with that
preamp. No problems at all, and thats with everything cranked as loud as
anyone could stand. Not one peep. All notes naturally decay and I can
control feedback with ease. If I want it, its there. If i dont, Its not.
Great job ISP!"

"Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa!!
My new Vector 112 sub rocks so hard! It has turned my already lethal Theta-driven rig into a thunderous weapon of destruction. The lows that are coming from my axe absolutely shake the foundation! It's also made my clean tone much warmer and crystal clear. My God, I.S.P. has done it again. This is truly the tone I have always dreamed of... "

"Buck, I just wanted to thank you so much. The ProRack G is an amazing unit and the service you provide goes above and beyond, way beyond! In this day of any tech support designed to get you off the phone and/or place blame somewhere else, you have shown that ISP does not fall into that category. When I called you during the day yesterday, you promised me that you would get the grounding issue in my rack rectified no matter what it takes. You took the time just before closing and beyond to help me troubleshoot that nasty ground loop I had. You have the patience of Job!! You stayed on the phone and went through a bunch of stuff until you had me pull the shields off the two cables going from the ProRack G CH2 to my Bradshaw switcher. My system is so quiet now, I am blown away. The tightness and attack is breath-taking. The Decimator allows me to run incredible amounts of gain without the associated feedback and howls between passages and keeps everything quiet as a mouse, which to me is of the utmost importance. The kind of personalized service that goes along with this amazing product is outstanding!!! BTW it's nice to speak to someone who genuinely cares about their product, reputation and their customers and you're a darn nice guy too!! :)
Thanks again Buck...ISP deserves good things!!"

“So, I have tried the pedal. I plugged the Noise reduction along with Gibson Les Paul '55 P-90 and Marshall 2061x with Full tone FD2, it has its noise as usual. I tweaked the knob and found that the decimator just does the trick!!! Dead quiet, I didn't lose any of my tone and sustain!!! It's a jaw's dropping moment, your pedal is amazing.”

Peter Joem, Thailand


***********************************************************************
 
“This is truly one of the most exciting guitar products I have played in a long time. It gives your guitar rig a 3-d sound and with the built in crossover it keeps all of the low's in the Vector 1x15 speaker and all of the mid's and high's go to your regular extension speaker cab which makes the tone so much more thick and clear it's incredible!!!! Great for playing live without a PA or you can have it built with a line out that can feed to a PA while your regular cab is mic'd.”

“ISP Technologies cabinets are the best sounding cabinets out there and are

fools with the amp racks and such. ISP is the way to go, best sounding
gear, highest fidelity, great price and easiest install. You can’t beat

"The Decimator Products (ProRackG & Pedal) I have acquired are the most organic sounding noise suppressors I have encountered. You can dial each unit in to be as gentle or as tight as you wish without having any harshness when it engages. The Decimator's response is very 'musical' and seems to be intuitive of the musician's or engineer's needs. The quality of the product and personnel at ISP is top-notch."

"Thanks again for the awesome sound system. I have been doing sound for about 20 years now. The 4215’s are so loud and clear on the top that I can actually hear reverb on my program music I have never heard before. What can I say about the subs? These are the tightest folded horn bottoms that I have ever heard. They are so clean that I blindfolded a friend and he thought they were front load boxes on steroids. This system absolutely rocks our new 300-seat concert venue. We have a new motto here at the BC Sound Venue, “We can give you more bass but you have to sign a waiver first.” This is the loudest and clearest sound system in a 4-city area in west Michigan hands down. I have other club owners that have twice the boxes of other brands that don’t do what our ISP rig does now asking me about our system. I have bands that want to play our new venue for free just to play through this system. We invite anyone to our venue that would like to demo the system. Also thanks for coming down for our grand opening, how many other owners of sound company’s would take the time to do that? Your Customer Service is 2nd to none! Keep up the good work."

"Hi Shelley, finally got the speakers on Tuesday, hooked them up and WOW!!!! On initial fire up I thought they sounded awesome. Then I dialed them in, tuned to the room and I can say that these have better clarity than the L'Acoustic speakers that we had tried out before. Then there is the monitors, WOW!!! I had the pastor put on his headset stand directly (on top) in front of the monitors, no feedback then he turned and went toward our regular monitor and got within 7' and we got feedback. Both monitors were at the same level. Now the clarity, no comparison, those Tri-wedges are the best monitors that I have ever heard, better than EAW, McCauley, Community, Martin L'Acoutics just to name a few that I have heard.


Should I go on, I haven't even talked about the amp. I used to have a (1970's vintage) Marshall 100W double stack with 4 bottoms with the one head pre-amping the other. That was a great set-up and I have not been able to get that sound since, until now!! As soon as I went from clean to distort I said "there it is , the sound that i've been looking for."
I'll send you reviews for the pastor and the head of the sound department soon."

I tell everyone about these cabinets, and amps. I have played alot of amps....as I said before, however I have never felt punch, with tone,like this amp/ cab combo makes. Truly remarkable. Im honored to be on your artist page. We hit the studio this weekend to a demo for a label. As soon as we are done I will send you a copy. I CANNOT WAIT TO UNLEASH THIS THING ON FRIDAY!!!! The guy recording us is Brett Alexander, from the Badlees. He is as excited as I am! He has heard of the amps and cabs.....however has never gotten to record any. Its gonna be great. I want to thank EVERYONE at ISP Tech. for the great amp/cab. There is no doubt in my mind that you guys(and ladies!) will be on top with these amps.Its like the best kept secret. I promote ISP like crazy.This is the least I can do. Thanks again so much. Take care.....and keep rockin!!!!"

***********************************************************************

"I finally had a chance this week to take a few hours and play with the system. WOW! I played virtually every type of music through it...classical, James Taylor, Pantera, BB King, Stone Temple Pilots and everything in between. I have to say...it's THE first system I've herad everything sound good on without a single EQ change between genres. I probably sat in 14 different places through out the room and it sounded exactly the same in every seat...no peaks or dips in the response and coverage we super-even. The only way I can think to describe the stuff is "Big Studio Monitors."  Regarding the XMAX212's, I swear those are the best sounding subs I've heard...and that's comparing them to EAW, ServoDrive, Yorkville, Nexo, Turbo, and McCauley (those are what I've had personal experience with).  Shelly, you've finally done it!!!  I am a true believer. I wish that I would have been more aware (not that you didn't try!) of your quality so that I could have spec'd ISP for past installations.  Be assured that I'll use your boxes every chance I get."

"....it’s more of a question of where to begin when talking about the Theta head and Vector cabinet. Both are aesthetically pleasing. Those added blue LEDs make the stack one the coolest looking things I have ever seen. When playing in a dark room, those LEDs light up the night! However, as awesome as these things look, the THETA/VECTOR is hardly a matter of form over function. Talk about function! These amps are the MOST versatile amps I’ve played. Both clean and distortion channels sound fantastic through this stack. I have spent a long time trying to find and achieve the perfect tone. I feel that after purchasing this amp from ISP I have finally reached my goal. Most other amps out there don’t cut it when it comes to clarity and pure expression and beauty in tone when compared to the THETA. I am amazed to learn that it wasn’t tubed! The distortion is so warm, clean, and smooth, my notes just seem to drift off the fretboard. Also, the added Decimator was a brilliant idea in this head. Its sounds so clean and uncluttered! The clean channel is also phenomenal, especially when I hooked up my trusty pedals and I let it rip. Simply amazing. Even if the distortion wasn’t awesome, the head is worth the money just for the clean channel. And all of this was competitively priced! Once again, amazing job guys. My band and myself am looking forward to future business with you, as we are very pleased with the first transaction! Like I said again, we’ll start spreading the word as long as you guys keep making awesome gear. Hope to see you at NAMM next year!"

“Finally I can feel my guitars kicking me in the gut every night, thanks to the SL subs. My guitar tone is razor sharp like a samurai! I don't like a ton of bass dialed into my guitar sound, it will turn my guitars into mud. But I do like to feel the low end chugging when I am on stage every day on our Transgression world tour. So there's only one solution, The SL Subs!!!  The cabinets link into the back of my guitar cabinets and they are completely separated from my main guitar sound. So now I have the best of worlds, my razor sharp signature guitar sound and the massive low end from my 15-inch sub woofers. Just like when you add that subwoofer in your car, the SL subs give you that same smile while on stage rocking in front of thousands of fans every night!”

"Living Stones Church recently installed a Line Array system custom designed for our facility by ISP Technologies. Buck and Jon Waller, along with the entire ISP Team, have achieved an excellent standard of audio fidelity and clarity that surpasses any system of which I am aware. Our worship services have literally been transformed as both the music and the spoken word now have a superb intelligibility and quality that was previously lacking. I recommend ISP Technologies for all of your audio needs."

Derwin Ward Worship Leader Living Stones Church Alvin, TX

"AWESOME! The ISP System is the best we have heard. Everyone is well pleased. One night we decided to see how loud it could go and the police came! All I can say is I am glad our church is built on a good foundation!"

"Everyone knows high gain means high noise. Forget all that. The ISP Decimator pedal gives you back your tone, without the haggard 'cut-off' of lesser pedals. This is THE most important piece of equipment in my chain."

Marcus Henderson- (Guitar Hero) for DRIST


***********************************************************************
 

"Yeah, the Decimator is just awesome! Absolutely blows away the Boss NS2 and the Rocktron Hush. Highly recommended for anyone who uses high-gain a lot and for everyone who has some noise issues they'd like to get rid of."

"Hello everyone. I want to start by saying my name is Dave Whitman from the Northeast Pa based band SOMBER. I'm a proud owner of a ISP Theta series amp with the cabinet to match. 1st off I've been searching high and low for a rockin' solid state amp for quite some time. It was so weird cause I was a tube fan.....that is till the day I stepped into BCR Music in Harrisburg! Gregg insisted I play through the Theta.....finally I did....ISP you guys (and ladies) rocked my f'n world! I love my amp!!!!!!!! I love playin shows and people are like.....what the hell is that? Do you play bass?.....My answer is "NO ....I just own the most brutal amp out there now known as a ISP Theta series!" The damn thing cannot be stopped.....its proved itself time and time again. Believe me we are a touring band......(rough crowds) and this thing just keeps on giving like a damn cheese club at Christmas!!!! LOL I wanted to prove it for myself.....but after 7months of touring and killer playing this amp is a must for the most die hard bottom end sacrificing player ever!!!! Mesa, Bogner. Deizel.....GO THE F*** HOME!!!!! Don’t even get on the porch cause your ass is gonna piss on the porch!!!!"

"Other than my guitar and amplifier, the ISP decimator is the piece of gear I value the most. It is the greatest noise suppressor on the market."

"This past weekend I had the opportunity to demo some ISP Technologies "Mongoose" system. Very impressive, super clear mids, earth moving subs! It was what they call a half line (room only holds 600 people) and it was enough for double that easy. If you get the chance to check these out, I highly recommend them. Their customer service is above and beyond what you would ever expect as well."

"Buck,
I just wanted to say thank you for the Decimator pedal. I go through a lot of gear, and I can't say enough about the Decimator. Best purchase I've made in years. I've used it night after night for over a year now and it always works great. I've had so many guys come up to me asking me how I get my marshall not to hum with my strats, it is truly a great pedal for people who care about getting rid of hum without loss of tone. Best of luck, and thanks again."

"At the 2006 NAMM music trade show, I was introduced to I.S.P. Technologies, and most importantly, the 300 watt Theta guitar amplifier. After playing through this crunch machine for fifteen minutes or so, I was completely in love! Buck Waller has created a sweet, beautiful monster. The Theta's tone is big, thick, sweet, and crunchy - just the way I like it. Needless to say, I'm very much looking forward to having this killer amp (as well as the Vector 400 watt powered subs) as part of my tone arsenal. Buck and Shelley are the best, and I.S.P. rules."

"I took the head and cab down to my studio, and set it up this afternoon. I spent about 3 hours with the EQ, and have it about 80% of where I want it. A little more time with it and I’ll have it dead on where I want it. It was actually more difficult to set up than I had imagined, but that was doe to there being so freaking many spots that sounded good. The fine adjustment on the tone pots was a huge help. They are very smooth and very sensitive compared to others I have used. As of right now, the sound absolutely blows me and the rest of my band away, and I don’t have it through any of my Rack unit yet, just straight Head. I seriously think I might end up completely bypassing the EQ in my TC electronics unit as so far I don’t see it being necessary."

"I hooked the Decimator ProRackG up last night and played with it for hours. All I can say is THANK YOU!! I love high gain and have been fighting, not so much the noise, but the associated unwanted feedback, constantly working my volume pedal and guitar volumes when playing live. I have been using the built in programmable Hush on my Bradshaw switcher for years with what I thought were liveable results. Last night was like a gift from heaven. I can turn my gain right up on my preamp and my guitar and simply use a palm mute for staccato passages NO FEEDBACK! My notes feed nicely and freely like never before and I can stop them, noise free with a simple palm mute.....WOW!!!!! The Decimator sounds and feels so natural, I can't believe it. You guys are geniuses!!! My playing sounds and feels better, instantly....noise and feedback free with incredible dynamics. Anyway I'll shutup now...lol, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! You folks deserve an award, good luck with your products...I'll be spreading the word for sure."

"The Decimator ProRack G is THE ultimate guitar noise reduction system, period. I have to admit I was already sold on the Decimator after hearing the samples on the net, but this is sincerely the most affordable, effective, easy to use, n/r device on the market. I have been waiting 20 some years for a product like the Decimator. I have used the Hush system for a long time, but this is a whole new level of sonic performance. I powered my amp on, turned the knobs and shhhhh! The noise vanished. I can finally turn down the extra treble that was needed to cut through my amps 'internal noise system'. So the second channel -effects loop- is where the most remarkable improvement is for my gear. Now I can use the reverb unit of the amp without the sound turning to mud. Smooth, syrupy leads just flow, like a subtle breeze without the Atlantic Ocean hissing in the background. Every note is well defined and clear. The beauty of the Decimator is that there is no sound coloration whatsoever, it doesn't affect the tone at all, the tone does not go limp. The Decimator cancels the noise, not the tone! I will never play and record without the Decimator. Thank you very much Shelley, Buck and all the employees at ISP."

“Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains is currently using the ProRackG in his main rig. Since adding the ProRackG into Jerry’s rig, his blazing rhythm and blistering lead tones hit like a sledgehammer with total control and extreme precision. We also have a Decimator in the “B” rig pedal board; which he mainly uses for Cardboard Vampyres and Camp Freddy shows. The Decimator allows Jerry to have the “Uber” Bogner gain that he digs, without the worry of the amp taking off during sudden stops and breaks. As Jerry’s guitar tech, my life on the road without the ProRackG and Decimator Pedal, at this point, seems unimaginable. Thanks a million Buck!"

"I.S.P. Technologies out of Waterford, MI signature model, the Tripower Reference, impressed me like no other pro-sound speaker ever has before. Its three patent pending D-CAT amplifiers provide 1100 watts RMS output to 2-12” woofers, a 4” titanium mid-horn and a 1.75” polyester HF-horn to produce a room filling 134dB peak SPL. Polyester drivers are common in hi-end home systems and produce soothing highs devoid of the harshness typical of titanium drivers. The overall result is a sound that rivaled many audiophile speakers. Their demo featured a 5.1 channel surround sound configuration using their more portable but just as pleasing Triwedge and Tripower 900 3-way models for the center and surround speakers respectively. The demo sounded so sweet, I didn’t want to leave the booth. If it weren’t for the Wife Acceptance Factor, this would be my choice for the ideal home theater system, especially if entertaining a few hundred of my closest friends"
