Noise Suppressors - lets hear your experiences

 The negative point is that there is a noticeable volume drop when the NR is engaged, whcih the Decimator didn't have. So it'll be OK as an "always on" effect but no good if I want to keep switching it on and off.

That's strange, I borrowed an NS-2 from a friend last week to check it out in my rig and it gave a volume boost when turned on. :? I did find that it worked quite nicely :) the release time is just right imo. (when you turn it to 9 o clock)

Maybe it's because I used it in front of the amp, and after (using the second loop)..

How "quaintly" American.  :?

I use alot of gain and play with 5 pedals and the ISP will completely kill all nose, but It also kills alot of sustain . Especially when doing volume swells.   I have to compromise and lower it a bit and deal with some hiss.
 i am looking into an mxr smartgate to see if i can do better.

I've been using the NS-2 for a few weeks now, just using my noisiest, highest gain pedal in it's loop, and have been very pleased with it.
  For all my lower gain and more delicate playing, my signal doesn't go anywhere near the NS-2, so I guess a lot of the outcome of how successful a noise suppressor will be is in how you implement it, and what your expectations are.
  I've certainly found the NS-2 to be no worse than the ISP Decimator I use to own.
