I was hoping that the ISP pedal could go in my parallel loop.... I have a very noisy Telecaster which sound is essential to my setlist.

It's wiring is noisy as hell and I want to know where to put the ISP pedal? I already have a Budda Wah, MXR Dyna comp, BBE boosta grande and a TC Electronic polytuner in the input ... loop 1 has the eventides but loop 2 has nothing...


I hope it would work in the parallel loop (loop 2)
 
I'd put it after the compressor as putting it before the compressor will mess with the compressors tone quite a bit.

I wouldn't use it in the loop. If it's the pedal version it's not designed to handle those signal levels, and switching channels will cause problems.
 
well here is my front end input pedal list... PolyTuner to wah to dyna comp to clean boost.... Ill check it out as the last thing and get back to ya man!
 
I have decimators on two of my amp rigs, Roadster and Tremoverb, and in my rack with thevRecto recording pre amp and 2:100. First, the pedal is absolutely made to go in the loop. Download the manual from ISPs website. The only restrction is the loop has to be serial (I modded the T-verb loop). Second, it should be the last piece in the chain. The decimator in the loop of my roadster gets rid of all the buzzing and humming perfectly, but it does not eliminate the noise the guitar picks up. I use the G-string version of the pedal from guitar to input of the amp. Between the two pedals, The amp is dead quite! I know it would be more convienient to use the rack model, but the two pedals are still cheaper. With the T-verb, I just have the decimator in the effects loop because more noise is generated in the loop. With the rack, no loop and no noise, but the guitar picks up a lot of noise, so I put the pedal between guitar and amp, again quotes everything down.

In short, noisy guitar-pedal before amp input; noisy loop-put it in the loop; noisy guitar and loop, put it both places.

HTH
 
mine is last in line of the output of my pedalboard:

since this pic, i've added a fulltone fatboost III, but it's the last thing in the chain BEFORE the ISP.

i tried it everywhere.
last in line, but in front of the preamp, seemed to be the best choice for my rig.
 
well... I play that Tele and I was told to plug directly into the amp.... bypassing my Tuner, boost Dyna comp and Budda wah.

The pedals in front make the guitar with single coils noisy.. I hope the ISP last in the chain will knock out some of that noise but I dont know how all this will work because the pedal is being repaired by a friend and that could take some time over the holidays.
 
I have both channels configured through my GSX. I use channel 1 for clean and rythm and then switch in channel 2 for lead solo's. This is also part of the send/return loop on my Triaxis. I found I didn't need both channels on all the time so this allows me flexability to change the amount of reduction when I want/need it.

The unit works wonderfully. I would recommend it to anyone.
