Other noise gates have a release knob compromise to adjust the release response in an attempt to best match the release to your playing style. If you set a fast release to remove noise, the instant you stop playing, the long sustained notes will either get an undesirable cutoff or will chop off the signal with a very ugly modulated release as the signal decays. The Decimator provides a fully adaptive release response, which tracks the envelope of the signal and instantly changes the release from super fast to a long, smooth release for sustained notes.

The new Decimator X technology uses time vector integration and eliminates any modulation of the note. This allows long sustained notes to providing amazingly smooth response. Why adjust a fixed release time when you can have a full adaptive response that tracks exactly what youre playing all in a super small package that delivers transparent performance. Also, the DECI-MATE wont alter your tone. The DECI-MATE is a full analog design without any digital artifacts or aliasing for the most transparent noise reduction available. Made in the USA
