Anyone using external gates with 11R?

As some of you probably know. The 11R gate is kinda crappy. Specially if playing with high gain settings. If you set it too a decent threshold it cuts out too quick. Back it off a little and there's too much excess noise.

Obviously when recording you can edit out the noise (to a degree). But I find it affects my playing sometimes.

Anywho. I'm looking at getting an ISP Decimator and going Guitar > Decimator > 11R

Anyone doing anything similar? Is it going to work just fine like I imagine it would, or does something go horribly wrong?

I use the Decimator G String with mine and it works great.
