Yes.
Guitar to ISP
Effects loop through ISP
Effects and guitar signals meet
Go to amp.
The ISP G-String has four holes. They aren't named this, but they should be:
Guitar in
Guitar/G-string out to effects loop
effects loop back into G-String
Out to amp
The G-String is a little different than some other noise filters. A lot of filters have an input and an output...that's it. The G-string has an effects loop to buffer out noise from the loop apart from the guitar input.
I tried the normal decimator, but when I run several distortions at once the noise filter had to be set so high that it filtered everything, including what i wanted to go through; and was thereby useless.
With the effect loop filter on the G-String, the filter gate is opened up a little when I play, mixing the guitar signal and effects signal together before shooting them to the amp.
