Does this pedal add a lot of noise to your signal?

It colors the tone when engaged, and also adds a bit of noise. Most compressors do. But adding a clean power supply or a noise suppressor will fix that. If I recall correctly, a low output from the pedal results in low noise.

After hours of use, I have not had a noise problem. Make sure you are using shielded cables all the time and check loose connections.

Yes it does, but use a noise gate petal to minimize this. In my opinion, this is the best sounding compression petal on the market.
1111854
It only increases noise already present in your rig. And only when both not playing and not muting the strings. It's what compressors do; brings up the low volume sounds and down the high volumes. The Dyna Comp is an excellent compressor I say. And, it adds a slight spice to your sound.

Not a lot but it does boost noise you may already have from pickups or whatever.
1111856
Not at all. However, it depends on your chain. Been playing nearly forty years and everybody is an expert on chain sequence. Just play with it. Compression is great but like anything else on a board you have to tweek a lot.

I have run my MXR in front of both a low watt tube, and 60 watt solid state acoustic amplifier. I was unable to detect any negative sound via the box.

Nope, it sounds like your pedal is faulty and needs to be replaced/fixed. Send it back.

Not quite sure...to be honest, I hardly use this pedal right now. I am very happy with my Boss DD7... sorry I couldn't help more.

Maybe, it depends on what you mean by 'crazy noise'. In my case, I was playing my computer through a receiver/amp and it started off ok but then there was a feedback hum that go louder. I put this between the two (without connecting the other 'curly wires' and it was perfect. For prox $12 why not give it a try, if it fails it might wind up being useful in the future.

Yes, it produces a slight fuzz/distortion sound. I have another distortion pedal as well as a dunlop fuzz pedal. the Danelectro produces sound most similar to the Dunlop fuzz but not as much.

Yes. I did have a problem with the static noise. A slight movement of the amp make a ringing noise. I couldn't bare that sound so I returned it.

No, it's not a true isolation. Each input is separate and this power supply is reliable and a step up from a one-spot or similar daisy chain. It does reduce noise, but you will still have some. However, no matter what you do, with some pedals you will continue to have noise.

I'm not sure on a technical level how much signal boost this pedal can provide, and I've seen nothing online either, but I've used it straight into a PA without a guitar amp (it's an amp simulator so that sounds pretty good) and it had more than enough signal to work with.

I don't have any problem with mine... It work great for me... One of the best pedal so far...

I had the same issue. The original power cord created a bug, so I used a power cable that came with one of my effects pedals and it worked. No noise at all

We have had no issues with the unit as of now. If there is background noise, it is very low. But I should qualify that we are using it to send our low end noise to sub-woofers mounted under our seats and it would take quite a bit of noise for us to detect it.Rick Blair

The amp has clean/overdrive, but if you are looking for any real distortion I'd suggest getting a standalone distortion pedal

Depends on which features, are set; volume of the master knob, or volume, that you have selected. It has a lot of options and some of the overdrive options do make pre-noise, hiss. Gain is very important too. RTFM. Read the Fn manual. :)

I haven't had any buzzing problem ( well, my Strat hums some, but that's not from the amp, since it's not present with the Les Paul ). And i haven't experienced the "hissing" that people have complained about on various forums. I 've read that this was a problem with earlier runs that Vox eventually solved. Also, there's a variable noise reduction feature/control on the amp. But, using a good quality instrument cable, i've heard very little to no "hum" or "buzz" even without using the noise reduction.

It's should be, the noise is usually caused by different components being grounded to different areas. This should eliminate the feedback loop you are hearing.

Volume depends on how you set it in your different pedals and what you want to accomplish. In my case I wanted this pedal to work with others but not looking for a True Bypass. Oh, I changed the tubes because theres was a drop in volume but the pedal was by itself. Now I don't have that problem. And, you have to let the tube settle in. Good luck!

Yes, but it depends how loud the street traffic is. This makes a steady wooshing sound. I wouldn't call it loud but it's not quiet either. It drowns out background noise well.
