I only have experience with the G8 but I got one because the built in gate on the Revv amps was so good. Worked really well with any amp I tried it with. I didn’t notice it taking anything away from the tone, you can dial it in to cut off naturally too.

I had a Revv G8 and tried everything in the world to get it to "cut off naturally". Could not get it to achieve that no matter what I did, so I sold it. Solid unit though.

This is the hardest part with a gate. That unnatural sustain

Decimator II G String in 4 cable method. Works perfectly, no tone loss (actually sounds a little better with the pedal engaged).

Do you run it in the loop of in front of amp (with second set of cables)?

I did every setup that was listed. Worked well for killing noise and giving you that modern gain sound, but would just kick in too early for me to be comfy with those 'wiggling' out til it dies lead notes.

Could be the way the Rivera circuit is but yeah, tried in front, in the loop, 4 cable w Key, etc.

Oh yeah. I have never conquered that problem for sure. I was actually replying to soundstorm to see how he is running decimator since I just bought one.

Edit: I say that, but i think running two gate setup is pretty badass with the sustain, because the loop gate was so low that i would only kick on the front of amp gate if i were going for the start stop shit. Both zuuls were keyd. That is a lot to do, but it was kinda nice

The guitar goes into the detector circuit of the G String, then into my other pedals (besides tuner) then into the front of my amp, then the loop of the amp goes through the actual gate circuit of the pedal.
 
I love my MWK Audio Ball Gag. Gave up my NS-2 for it. It's just really transparent.

Ok. Good. That is how i was planning to use it. I only asked since you say yours is working perfect. The loop is always more powerful at quieting the amp. In front of amp is very powerful for the feel of start/stop.
Right now i am just concerned about cutting the noise

Agreed. It was awful. I returned the one I had fast. There are much better gates out there
