how much is "not too expensive" because for a good rackmount noise suppressor, you're going to have to pay.

the cheapest ones i can think of would be the rocktron rack hush's, like the super C....

or you can just buy a pedal, and set it on a shelf in the rack, or velcro it in the back of the rack.

but it's one of the most expensive options.

honestly, an ns-2 with some 3m dual lock will do you just fine.

Thanks guys, took a look at the Rocktron Hush Super C, is it an alright gate or would just getting a pedal be fine? I just want to make sure I'm getting good quality.

usually the gates on compressor units arent designed with guitar in mind, so they seem kinda stiff to me.

Ah, I need a noise supressor as well...
is the ISP Decimator the best one? Itīs much more expensive than the Boss NS2 and I heard that the NS2 is a "dynamic killer".

I need it for my ENGL Savage 120...itīs pretty noisy with gain (damn, I donīt even know if this is normal or not :S )...does the decimator destroy feedback as well?
