Re: Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.
I built this one out of spare pedals from the junk drawer.
I've tried a bunch of different compressors in my main rig and never liked them. They just don't work for me through the baby Marshall clone. On the other hand, I love those '80s clean, compressed, chorused guitar sounds. Think bands like The Fixx, 'Til Tuesday, Suzanne Vega, Simple Minds, Tears For Fears... this board through a clean amp (or two) will do those sounds.

How does the Decimator work for you? I had the same for a while, but never got it to work. When set so it actually reduces any hiss it also cut guitar sound so badly it was unusable.
This is my home living room practice rig.
The pedals are in front of a 5w Hotone Nano head with a reverb in the loop. This chain is connected to a single 1x12 cab.

The G-string version can cut noise both from the preamp (run through the loop) and in front. You hook it up with the 4 cable method and it actually works pretty damn good.
If you set it so you have complete silence it can affect the guitar signal. I have mine set to gate the bulk of the noise. On stage a small amount of noise won’t be audible. Plus you can still turn the guitar volume knob down for dynamics etc.

Re: Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.
I know most people are keeping their boards flexible and ever changing, but every time you savages post your boards and bags with loose or tangled wires and non- perfectly perpendicular alignment, my ADD wants to get on a plane, come to your house and rebuild it for you with everything strapped and hot glued into a perfect harmonized board of predictability and rockness.... :lmao:
It's a character flaw, I'm working on it.

Re: Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.
I will see you in Providence, my friend! I'm playing up there in a few months.
Also buying tix to David Byrnes Utopia on broadway hopefully on a similar NE trip -that's on the must do list.
Saw Bryan Cranston redo "Network" last year in NYC -did not disappoint.
I'll bring my toolkit and will make some artwork out of your board!

Let me know when you know. Boston is only 45 min away (with no traffic)

Back in the 70s all my patch chords were made from blue Belden cable.

Re: Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.
I use a Marshall Code 100 amp, which has a lot of the effects I use, but I still have a Vox wah, Whammy, EHX Microsynth, and a distortion pedal in front of the amp. Each of those is mostly for solos. I have yet to mount them on a board. Lol.
But I watch rig rundowns and some people have huge pedal boards.

But isn't that the v1 version you just put last in your chain? Not G-string.
I had the Decimator 2 which is basically same, but also has link for second gate. It cut my notes short quicker than reduced any noise.
