Re: ...what to go for then?
Mine's got no issues with sound quality. I run it in
the loop of my amp and it's dead silent. Out front
it's hissy as hell, but that's not where I put it.
And for some reason, if I put it in front of my little
solid state Crate practice amp I don't get noise. So
it's not simply a matter of placement, either.
