The MXR SmartGate is the same as the Rockman SmartGate which is what Ed used (he later used the MXR) in the loop of the PV 5150's to keep this hiss down.

Definitely the ISP over the Smartgate. The Smartgate affects the sound more than the ISP. It takes of some of the edge, which is a extremely bad thing if you play Metal and want a cutting tone.

Definitely go for the ISP. Totally agree with the guy above me, the ISP will leave much more of your sound in tact than the MXR will

I decided better cables would be more worth it than to touch my sound ha! i dont use that much gain anyways thanks guys!

My vote goes for the classic Rohctron Hush IICX. Those kill the noise and actuall ADD something to the tone. I dunno if it is some kind of natural compression or some extra magical gain, but my buddy's Triple sounds even better when he turns on his IICX.
