Finally!! Someone perfectly explains EXACTLY how to set this pedal up. ISP should literally pay you to write their product manuals.
Well, not “perfectly” I’m afraid.
The diagram provided here is wrong and will not function properly. I know because I just bought one and quickly followed this information instead of the correct ISP diagram.
The correct way is as follows:
Top right-Guitar Out
Middle right-Guitar In
Bottom right-Dec In
Left side-Dec Out (correct)
Guitar out goes to the front of the amp, Decimator In goes to your “send”, and Decimator Out goes to your “return “
Include any pedal’s accordingly
Hope he didn’t get paid for that.
@@richardt9102 I have another question - he puts this pedal right after the guitar and before any distortion or overdrive. Shouldn't you put this pedal after the Distortion/overdrive to control the noise coming out of those pedals? I currently have my Rocktron Hush ( and DD2 delay) connected to Send/Return and it seems to be working ok, but it's over 20 years old and I'm thinking new technologies should work better?
Anytime a man with two Iron Maiden posters in the background talks, I listen!
UP THE IRONS!!!
Hell yeah, Up The Irons!
Ha ha, yell yeah💪
@@ManBunMetalHead so the G-string also removes noise while playing? (Spectral noise removal?)
i’m sold, thanks so much for the very informative and detailed video. this’ll help a lot!
This is the best demo video on the G string pedal i've ever seen!! Thankyou
Appreciate the video. Just picked up one of these and anxiously waiting to add it to my signal chain. Cheers!
Man your vids are absolutely awesome! Please keep making them. The kind of descriptive instructional videos we need. Excellent stuff!
Thanks a lot man!

Hey bro excellent video very well explained! Thank you 🙏
Thank you for catering to high gain/distortion players. I feel that other channels like vertex effects and jhs, though super informative, make videos for blues and indie players that wear scarfs and funny hats. Your content is of superb quality and is greatly appreciated.
I will forget Boss NS-2 only if the G-string asks the same price haha.. Currently price comparison in my country is IDR 3,351 millions (USD 239) vs IDR 975 thousands (USD 69). Hence the boss will still stay.
@@frankviverito5404 used “like new” is king.
I hear your comments, and respect them, but these two pedals are in two different worlds. If you're trying to get the professional equipment to have a professional set up the Dec2 is the only way to go. If you're just playing at home and don't need to worry about interference or noise the Boss is fine. 👍
On the positive notes, very good hook-up explanation. On the other side, without testing NS-2 side to side it looks like decimator shill. You can connect NS-2 the same way as "decimator channel" with FX loop and NS-2 is a solid gate.
I tested both.. I think the NS2 is the better choice. I never have issues with it, it doesnt suck tone, sounds the same as the gstring and costs wayy less. just my 2cents.
Where do you put it on your chain?
@@dickvalentinesillegitimate1059 I use the send and return on the NS2 to put my noisy dirt pedals in its loop. So I go tuner, NS2-loop overdrives loop return NS2, delay, reverb - out to amp
@@RoyMcKaren thank you
I have owned a Decimator G-string and now I have a NS-2 I run in 4 cable method. Works just as well as the G string. The G string is just 4 times more expensive.
Yeah, dude didn't talk about the FX loop option on the NS-2. Video was well made, but this was overlooked.
Confermo, Boss is best!
hogwash
Yup… same here. Got rid of the overpriced one and kept the NS-2 and just learned how to Use the 4 cable or “X” pattern. All “noisy” pedals get tamed and the modulation effects use the send and return go to both amps loops,taming my high gain amps
With one pedal…
Boss great buffer but ns-2 through my jvm410 Fx loop
Good enough for Yngwie Malmsteen and those noisy plexis
Great explanations and demo ! Thanks !
This was really helpful! Thank you so much.
You're everywhere "chesty harpist girl"! Haha! 🥰🥰🥰
Great review man, very representative and great sound also. Thanks a lot!
Good stuff man. Thanks for the content.
Great video. Tons of insight and info
I've used the G-string for years and this is the best explanation of use I've ever heard. Nice Job!
I gotta be completely honest with you… i have used an NS-2 since 2003 and have been extremely happy with it and honestly absolutely nothing and i mean nothing has ever convinced me other wise, although im not a purist and im adaptable to change, over the years nothing has made me think twice until i watched this video… as a fellow youtuber and gear reviewer i gotta say on one pedal i thought i couldn’t be budged on i think you budged me… i deffinitly want to see what this pedal can do for myself… I wasn’t all that impressed by the first isp due to the outputs not being there and the versatility being vacant but i think this pedal has finally hit the mark… thank you for your excellent review - Kevin
Awesome man, glad I could sway you even just a little. You might want to consider looking at a Fortin Zuul as well, I've been using a Zuul mini for some time now.

@@ManBunMetalHead thank you, i gotta say as a fellow youtuber, you deserve way way more subscribers and i hope your channel blows up very soon… we’ve been doing youtube since 2015 and it gets to the point you feel like marvin martian waiting for the big kaboom… i hope yours comes sooner then later… keep up the excellent content brother
Much appreciated! Not going to hold my breath but it would be great. Looks like you guys have some videos out there that have done pretty well. Hope you guys get your big kaboom soon too. Looks like we might similar videos, I'd say we should collaborate but no idea what would work. Any ideas, hit me up.
Got one two weeks ago. It is going back. Does not do any better than the NS-2. Look at the returns of this pedal at certain Music stores online!
@@tanker1960 I've been using the NS-2 in the X pattern (aka 4 wire option) for 10 years and it's perfect for me. Maybe there's something better out there, but why try and fix what isn't broken.
Keep up the good work. You should have a lot more subscribers. I'm in.
What a really great video you've put together here. The G-String Decimator 2 is the mother of all pedals.
perfect. love this channel 🤘🏻
That’s the tone right there!😍
Excellent Demo
You made my choice bro , I’m buying it tomorrow!
Good video bro!!
By the time I came across this video I already had the regular Dec II. I was gonna sell it and get a G string II but after further research, it seems that it's actually better (albeit more costly) to hook two regular Dec IIs through the link out link in ports on the top. Yes, it's pretty much like the G string but with one advantage, you now have two knobs for suppression. One at the beginning that tracks your direct guitar, then it goes through the link out to the other Dec II in the effects loop that also gets the direct tracking expect it has it's own individual control. They compare it to their rack mount unit. Either way ISP Decimators rock. You can't go wrong either way.
Good point, never thought about the separate suppression controls.
Great video, super str8 forward review. Subbed
Excellent video
Thank you for the Demo! I was about to go get a Boss Noise paddle, I am using a tube Amp ( Black Star ), every time when I turn on my distortion with a Booster, my high hissing noise become unbearable, definitely get one and compare before and after! Thanks.
You didn't show us a tone demo of the ns-2. That sucks
VERY VERY
nice video, keep going..thanks
Very honest observation and clever suggestions. I hope ISP use these suggestions to improve their product. Also reduce the price please!!
I have been using two noise gates, but recently, I tried recconecting the NS-2 at the front and fx loop. It worked much better. I am doing 2 things which are counter acting the tone suck. One, I am using the shortest possible cable at the NS-2 send to amp input. The other is the Empress ParaEQ which is patched at the amp fx send to NS-2 return. My Mesa Nomad 100 has a parallel fx loop currently. I use a Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8 to send a line out to stereo fx and drive stereo amps. I am still considering the ISP Decimator II G string or SMG Cock Blocker.
I don't know. I love my NS-2 and it always gets it done. I don't believe it's a "tone sucker" at all. I'm sure one's setup has a lot to do with it. I'm using very height gains. The Decimator II is a solid pedal, but I have to be skeptical when someone says a classic, almost iconic, pedal like the NS-2 is actually "bad". If it's no good, how did it achieve such a status and following. The NS-2 has been doing very well for a long time.
I hated mine for years before i learned how to use it in the X pattern lol now i love it
@@EveOfChaos Me too. Didn't even know until about 10 years ago about the X pattern. Using the X pattern I couldn't imagine another noise suppressor being so much better to justify spending more money. It works great in the X pattern.
Thanks for a really clear review. I'm purchasing this to replace my TC Sentry...
I haven't used the Sentry yet, but the other guitarist in my band just picked one up. What made you want to jump to the Decimator?
@ManBunMetalHead it works fine. But as you mentioned, it's just the noise gate. So the noise is stuttering at the end of a ring note instead of smoothing out. I've tried different settings but no luck. That annoys me a lot. So I'm waiting for the G String to see if it can solve that issue.
Thank you for this video :) Great!
Thank you Finally a video explains got to route this thing. I wish I could afford 3 but for now I'll have to settle for one. Can you make a video showing how to run 2 heads into one cab in stereo. with one decimator or will I need 2 still? I want to experiment blending my JSX 120 with my Marshall TSL 60
That's a great guitar. I love the scalloped fret board as well as the quilted maple top.
Thanks. I happen to have a video about it if you're interested.
ruclips.net/video/KOJS22EpTwM/видео.html
@@ManBunMetalHead awesome, will do!
I like this pedal! I haven’t use any other noise gate/suppressors. I feel that it can add a certain digital resonance if you want but if you don’t want it, then you can dial it down to where the noise is barely noticeable with my ear next to the amp. I use an MXR Iso brick to power it. It has one weird issue for me; if I don’t have the pedal pressed to ‘Off’ when powering it on, then it doesn’t work properly for me.
Interested to try a isp asap. Currently using ns2 seems fine and like that I can adjust the attack. My real question is isp going to be better for tone. I don't use it live strictly only for studio and tracking di signals and sometimes with an aby one to amp one to di.
Thanks. Good review and explanation. However, I'd like to hear how the unit tapers the signal on a sustained note and hear how it "clamps down" at the end or when the signal falls below the the threshold. Soft or hard? Cheers!
I do some sustain comparisons in this video ruclips.net/video/4LCX5dKECGc/видео.html
Aloha, i am sending one off to my son, hope he likes it...great video, Mahalo!
I used the TC sentry in the first spot in the loop of my 5150 set to hiss...best results ive ever had.
Nice to see another Borderlands fan! Great vid :)
Great review of an awesome product. Special shout out for the detailed diagram with arrows showing the proper connections for DEC IN/DEC OUT. ISP's user manual did not have a lot of info on the G String and I have even seen other reviewers with the ISP's DEC IN DEC OUT not correctly connected. it took me a minute to figure out how to utilize all of the connectors. I use 2 of these monsters for a stereo setup (2 Peavey XXL solid state monsters) and a huge pedalboard. That pedal took INSANE amp/gain noise and instantly quieted all of it by turning that 1 knob about half way up. Quick story - I did try the BOSS NS-2 (my Sweetwater rep suggested the ISP but I didn't want to drop almost $250.00 on noise reduction.) Long story short - the BOSS NS-2 was a tone sucker; my entire rig and effects and dual 4 by 12 PRS Harmonic Generator cabinets sounded like they had quilts wrapped tightly around everything. No bueno. Quickly returned the BOSS and pulled the trigger on the ISP and my jaw just hit the floor. It feels like you're overpaying for a noise reduction pedal UNTIL you hear your high gain rig without all of that hiss and buzz, then this thing becomes worth it's weight (and it IS a heavy pedal, lots of tech going on in there) in GOLD! Thanks so much for this!
So after I drop 200$ plus on the pedal, I need to drop another 200$ on cables to hook it up 😂? Wouldn’t it be nice if amps just had this shit built in?
We have products such as that, they are the result of being "jack of all trades, master of none". I would rather have a unit that is developed and designed for a specific task, rather than an amp that has 10 or more task developed and designed, causing it to not be strong in one part but mediocre in all.
Buy a ENGL Invader and you will be set for life :)
hmm. I've been desgining a pedal amp. Maybe I'll figure out how to throw that in if it doesn't use too many op amps
actually I was considering designing something that just notches out 60hz instead of gating the whole signal.
Hughes and Kettner Grandmeiser deluxe 40 tube amp has a built in noise gate. It is called noise gate but it is actually a noise suppressor. I'm happy with this amp. BTW, i dont think BOSS NS2 is that bad as described. I also have NS2 used when I'm using my pedalboard instead of the amp preamp. NS2 cuts off hums well in my opinion and i dont feel any tone detriment. Check my youtube channel MONIZAG for videos recorded on grandmeister 40
Thank you so much for again another great video. I love the way you explain everything in such detail and give so much needed information. You should have way more subscribers :-)
Much appreciated. Always good to hear my videos help.
Nice scalloped on your guitar bud ! Great vid on noise gates !!!🤟🤟🤟🤟
subbed of the sound of the guy's voice alone.
I bought both to see which one i liked better. The ns2 works flawlessly as does the g-string. Very little tone suck on thr ns2 and about the same for the decimator. I returned the decimator because the of the price point. Just get the ns2 and save a hundred bucks.
This is really a great video; so is the one about setting up the Boss ES-8 with the 4 cable method. But....how do you use the DII G-S with a Boss ES-8 and an amp Fx loop? That's what I'm trying to do....
I recently bought the ISP and it really worth every dollar, I recommend it
Awesome review. How is it on the leads? I recently picked up a Zuul+ for the 4cbm, but I'm not finding a spot that will allow me to have singing leads. Playing through an Engl Fireball.
Thanks for showing the signal path, much appreciated. So you never send anything to the front of your amp???
Generally, I'll put a wah, Tubescreamer, and/or compressor in front of the amp. Everything else will go in the FX loop.
@@ManBunMetalHead thanks!!!
Very interesting product. Will this affect pick slide? Alot of the stuff I play has pick slides and I don't want it to be cut/removed
The Decimator ii is a good pedal. Overpriced & overrated though. But that's just my opinion. Results always vary. I thought it was amazing for bass guitar. A bit of a tone suck for high gain guitar situation. I owned 2 Decimator ii and a G-string. They all sounded the same.
What’s it like when you play with dynamics? Such as playing a heavy tune and then playing a clean passage with your gtr volume backed off.
I bought a Fethead Phantom, and a Rupert Neve 545 Primary Source Enhancer and I gainstaged both and they don’t sound different at all really compared to the original signal.
So would this device change anything for me for reducing the noise floor more by a huge difference? I’m looking for huge difference noise reduction hardware for recording vocals.
My setup: RME Fireface 802 Interface, and Rode NT2A
Thanks for this video, I bought this pedal now. You said you sometimes you put your wah before this pedal. Does that mean your guitar is plugged into your wah and then from your wah you plug into the guitar input of the Decimeter II pedal?
Yes, that is correct.
@@ManBunMetalHead thanks man for the quick reply! Great explenation of a great pedal. It’s build like a tank, the sound is superb.
To my knowledge ISP decimator is a noise gate, not a noise suppressor the "linearized time vector processing" is just a "optmised expander" etc= the way the gate open/close. : "The Decimator II also features improvements in the expander tracking with our new Linearized Time Vector Processing™. This novel improvement provides a more linear release time-constant response for the exponential release curve of the downward expander. While the expander is exponentially increasing expansion and dynamically changing its response to fit the envelope of the input signal, the release response remains linear over a given time period. This increases the smoothness of the release response of the expander and provides the most transparent release response of any noise reduction system available and virtually eliminates any release ripple for incredibly smooth decay of longer sustained notes."
hey man! awesome video! just curious if i am running this pedal through the fx loop of my amp and using an effects processor as well with an fx loop...where in my signal chain would i throw in a loop pedal? ive got the boss rc3 and i cant figure out where to put this for the life of me
also the way im using the decimator is with the input monitoring method that way any time i switch to a clean channel it automatically lays off some of that gate
If you using the Decimator G-String I would recommend putting the RC3 in the FX loop after the Decimator. That's the only way to bypass the noise gating/reduction of the Decimator.
The ISP guys are former Rocktron staff, the Decimator noise reduction system ist based on the Rocktron HUSH system, which was included in every 19" unit by Rocktron since the nineties. It has been the best noise reduction algorithm for 30 years now, originating in the rack era.
Got a used original Decimator👎 few years back. Found a Hush the Pedal dual threshold for like 40 bucks less
It would be nice if the video shows how this pedal handles the sustain and dynamics when, for example, the guitar is used for sound like violin.
Does it really suppress the noise that accompanies the tone or does it cut them together like a noise gate pedal does?????
Hi, great video! But, I wanna know if with 2 isp decimator II (first in front OF amp and second in The loop OF The amp) I can have The same result or The 2 isp must be linked? Thanx
More than likely you'd probably need to link them to get the same result. Reason being the second Decimator in the FX loop will react better with a clean signal rather than a signal that has any sort of FX (pedals or preamp) applied to it.
The Zuul is killer. Swapped out my isp earlier this year
Might have to get one and try it out
+2 I too have the Zuul. It’s fantastic.
That noise (5:33) doesn't come out if you do not use ISP pedal. I'm using the same amp with same pedal. Yes there is a hum on the background by nature of tube amp (channel II - Petrucci settings). But It's not absolutely as annoying as that noise before ISP has turned on. It seems that ISP is creating the noise and reducing it when you turned it on. Wondering anyone else has experienced the same ?
This noise comes from the guitar...
The Boss Po pedal can be split in the return and the chain in front of the amp, too. That's how I run mine and it's night and day different over running just in the front.
Metal players need it yes cause it blocks it out amazingly for those kinda players... The ns2 you'll still hear some buzz and u do notice a tone change but only a fraction really.
You can tweek on ur amp too to gain a heavier tone when you've activated it already..
Not hard at all.
Will this work with a Boss Katana MK2 amp? I have the Diezel VH 4 2, a Fender delay a Flamma reverb and an MXR Micro Flanger.
Very nice detail with showing the diagram, but what if was to be connected to a series of pedal going into a looper/switch, how would you do that?
I'd probably put the Guitar circuit after the looper.
Any suggestions for getting rid of amp noise, buzzing sounds etc when just plugging straight into the amp and playing the clean channel?
Fortin ZUUL+ - Forget the Decimator II G-String
What about the other 2 ISP noise supp. pedals, like the I and II, are they plenty good also? What if you are not a high gain metal player, just a loud classic rocker, playing with huge crunchy tones? Will it help with hum, string noise, small clunky sounds like when changing chords, etc..What if you dont want it to cut of right away? What if you want to hold a huge note or chord for a while? I often do that.. I dont want the notes or chords to suddenly stop every damn time.
I'm looking for one of these, however for my set up I think I would need 3 and that's expensive lol. I run 3 amps and only 1 of the 3 has an effects loop. On my pedal board I run a Earthquaker Swissthings pedal to control my pedals before hitting the amps. That pedal has 2 effects loops of it own, buffered and unbuffered. And my amp that has an effects loop has an old ART sge processor in line, so you can see my problem here lol. 2 of my amps are tube (Carvin X50b with 4x12 cab and a Marshall jcm800 4010 combo) then a solid state old Peavey stereo chorus 212 combo. Very hard to fine a way to get a noise suppression in line with this rig!
YES!!!!!!!!!!! A man who has the confidence and comfort in his masculinity to run scallops. Scallops or death!
Where does this fit in with the mixer? I have a pevey amp and where I come out of the back that I send to the mixer. Thanks for any insight
I use an Electro Harmonix Super Switcher. There's an unnmbered insert loop in that which is designed for pedals that are always kept on. I have my effects in the following order: Compression, tremolo, overdrive, pitch shifter, delay, reverb.
The compressor is the only pedal that gives a hiss of any kind and maybe the pitch shifter rattles a little on the 2nd octave up setting which I believe to be normal.
Should I connect the guitar in and out as normal and put the Dec In/Out into the insert loop?
Yes, I'd connect the Guitar In/Out as normal and as long as the Dec In/Out loop is before the delay and reverb, you should be good.
Hello i use an ES8 too with a mesaboogie mark V. Could you share how you place your Gstring in this setup? Do you use one loop for the Gstring on ES8 or do you put of ES8 loop for a use with 4 cables method? Thanks for support !
I’ve had the G string 2 for years . I originally was a bit put out over the price . But it’s worth every penny and I wouldn’t be without it now . I play indie stuff not metal .and it’s great 👍
2 Questions:
1. Where would you put "the drop" in a signal chain?
2. Would the G-String still make sense over the normal Decimator 2 if I do not have Effects in the Effects loop at all?
Thanks!
I would probably put The Drop close to first in the signal chain. Always best to try different locations though.
If you don't use the G-String you may get unwanted noise from the amp and other pedals after the Decimator. Really depends on what your setup is like. High gain amps really benefit from having the suppression in the FX loop. If you're running all your FX before the amp input, I assume such is not the case for you.
I got one recently, seems they changed the power since I can unplug it and back in and it’s on still.
Hey man, like me I can see your using this with a Boss-es8. Out of curiosity how have you got it wired up with that? Are you using it in a es8 loop or just apart of your gtr input and fx loop signal chain
I use the 4 wire method so I can place my FX before the input or in FX loop.
@@ManBunMetalHead same, I've gone
Gtr -> Es8 input1

Hi how is the decimator 2 g string with the " particular " effects loop of soldano?
Hey - how are you incorporating it into/with the es 8? Do you use it in conjunction with the guitar as a volume insert 4 cable method or without the amp input as a loop?
I use the 4 cable method with the ES-8. Here are a list of my connections.
Guitar -> ISP Gtr IN
ISP Gtr OUT -> ES-8 Input
ES-8 Volume OUT -> Amp Input
Amp FX Loop OUT -> ISP Dec IN
ISP Dec OUT -> ES-8 Volume IN
ES-8 OUT -> Amp FX Loop IN
@@ManBunMetalHead - Awesome - just how I was going to do it. Thanks for the quick response!
Best pedals to kill any hum. I own two regular ones and a G string. Keeps everything smooth and clean.
can this be used like the decimator 2 with just an input and output if one desires a simple setup with single coils and gain??
Question. My amp does not have an FX loop. The amp is on a clean channel and I'm using distortion pedals for my main sound. Would this pedal work if I set up the guitar and amp as normal but I just put all my distortion pedals in between the Dec out and the Dec in? I'm presuming it would first take out the noise of the guitar and than also the noise of the pedals, right? Or am I missing something?
You are right on the money. 👍
So what if I have other petals after the reverb delay pedal that you take the output out to the amp how do those get connected like a looper
I have a Jp2c to Will this make my chugging tighter ?
My tube screamer still causes feedback regardless if I put it before after the decimator. Help! The decimator quiets it a bit, but the feedback is still there.
Tone suck is definitely an issue with the NS-2 but I don't understand what makes it hard to set up. Set it to gate, turn the decay all the way down then forget about those forever and treat the threshold pot exactly the same as the single one on the decimator.
hey bro. how do i route my signal if i have a pre amp pedal distortion that goes into the effects loop of an amp?
Hi, I have the version that has only one input and one output for the guitar. Do I always place the gate at the beginning of pedalboard?
Thank you
Riccardo
Hi, how are you? Today morning I got the Decimator g2 string, which you really convinced me to buy; I have the BossN2 which is the one I had been using; I already connected it (the Decimator g2) with the scheme that appears in the video, but it did not work for me, in fact it happened the same as the Boss N2 that is, it did not work for me; the head I have is a Peavey 6505 plus, I was somewhat disappointed, I hope to find the problem, greetings
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the 6505 but it should work. Are you connecting the G-String with effects as well? If you are, connect only the G-String to your amp (input and FX loop) and make sure you can get it to work. If you aren't getting a signal, turn off the G-String. If there is no signal while it's off you probably have a connection issue. Disconnect the FX loop connections on your amp. If you have signal, there is something wrong with the connections in your FX loop. If you don't have a signal, there is something wrong with the connections o your input side. Figuring out connection issues can be a pain, but if you're patient and change one thing at the time you should be able to find the problem.
@@ManBunMetalHead muchas gracias, trataré como dices
I own the ns2 if you gate anything too high it chokes your attack even this decimator will do that. My opinion the best place is the effects loops to rid yourself of preamp hum doing the 4 cable method just chokes your attack (hence the decay on the ns2) if your gonna spend this amount of money might as well get a rack mount with fancy conditioners etc
Hi dude! How are you? I own a G String and I'm thinking to purchase a Decimator II to link them. It's worth it? I use many gain pedals and a lot of modulation, delays and reverbs to play some sort of drone ambient metal. What do you think? I would appreciate your help. There is not information online. 🙏🙏🙏
We don't use other pedals. We also use wireless on our guitars. So would I put a wireless in the guitar and where would I plug the reciever? Guitar in? Show us the buttons so we can see a set up. So here is my guess 1) wireless transmitter in guitar 2) wireless receiver into the G 2 (where?) there are 3 or 4 inputs 3) have a cord from the pedal going out to my amp. Then we do not use mic'd amps. 4) We have a DI out of the back of the amp that goes to a snake to the mixing board. Does this sound correct?
isp decimator g string full size vs full size fortin zuul? I know you pick the mini zuul over the mini g string
I would probably take the full size Zuul. I've switched from the Decimator G String to the mini Zuul and haven't looked back.
Seems to be 2 clear camps - ns2 and g string. But how does this change with the new ns-1x?
How do I plug in if I want to go directly into the amp with no pedals other than the isp decimator?
