the best

[analogcreature]

so

lets say i dont want to spend to much over 200 bucks

what is the best noisegate/hush type single rack space unit (meaning, cancels unwanted noise, but still allows harmonic squeals and what not without clipping notes, but yet still silences on a dime)

and

what is the best single rack space tube compressor, if any, if not, what is the best single rack space compressor?

the only real good rack noise reduction unit i can think of is the ISP Decimator ProRackG. but thats about 400 bucks.. twice as much as you wanna spend. i've heard that the HUSH units kill tone a lot.. though i havent used any of them, so i can't give a very good review of any.. ISP also makes a pedal version of the Decimator that is supposed to be pretty good (obviously not quite the prorackg).. that is if you don't need a rack unit.. it's like 119 bucks
