I'm looking for two pedals.

Does anyone know of a nice and cheap but effective noisegate/noisgate type of thing? Help me out, my feedbacks been killing me. I'm also looking to get a pedal that could give me that weird Meshuggah lead sound so I could make sweet alien noises with my guitar. Thanks.

Unfortunately noise-gates are fuckin expensive.

If you're really done with the tube sound and hassle, though, get like a Randall Titan or something with a good clean and a HELLACIOUS bottom end, and just run like a Digitch RP500 or some kinda shit like that.

You'll get the noise gate and crazy ass effects all bunched into one unit. Better yet, check Craigslist or ebay for old school Digitech's like RP12's or 2101's. I think one of the pawn shops in Eugene has a 2101 for a couple hundred bucks with foot controller. Get that and a loud solid state head or a power amp of some sort, and damn. You'll be able to create some ridiculous, and extremely brutal, sounds.

lol, sorry. I'm a gear nerd. I love discussing this shit.

What kind of amp do you have right now, Perry?

[perry]

I honestly don't know. The head a really old and small Peavey tube, where everything sounds maddeningly trebley. Shit feeds back more than anything I've ever owned.

I use a boss NS2, and love it, but i've heard good things about the ISP Decimatior also
There is also a ton of good rackmount ones out there....like the Rocktron Hush.....but they will be quite a bit more expensive

ohhh...and if your amps got to much trebble....try an EQ pedal, it will give you alot more control of your sound, if you have an effects loop run the noise suppressor and the EQ in the effects loop.
That should make a nice difference....it will give you the ability to cut back the treb. and boots the mids and lows

I went with the RG70 and it had all that shit on it, noisegate, eq, effects.
