I had one of the older ones and I'm not referring to hiss but just the sampling/bit rate/etc. of the sound. I've heard guys sound fine onstage with it but at home recording, I thought it was too lo-fi. I wanted to like the unit as it's priced right and it's made in the US. The new ones coming out look intriguing. -- Paul ---- Scott Murchison <murch33@yahoo.com> wrote: > Mine's got no issues with sound quality. I run it in > the loop of my amp and it's dead silent.
