Luke Hoskin

"I use this MXR Zakk Wylde overdrive because my Maxon got stolen in Australia. "

In an interview with MetalSucks, Luke Hoskin of Protest The Hero discusses using the ISP Technologies Decimator noise gate pedal, praising it as the best noise suppressor for its price. He advises caution, noting that it can overly suppress your tone if set too high.

"I spent $500 on this harmonizer with dreams of actually learning how to use it. That never happened. So I use it for a ‘bounce back’ delay on a couple of the tunes we are playing nowadays. If you have an ounce of patience, though, I am sure you could make this pedal do incredible things."

That, a Tube Screamer, and I would let my front of house guy run delays when I was doing leads. That was the setup I loved the most, when I didn’t have to think about tapping any pedals or anything like that, I was just playing.
