Topic: Noise issue - help !

I've just bought a G-Sharp. Nice sounding, but there a lot of noise / hiss.

My setup is :

Guitar electric > stompboxes > G-Sharp left input (mono) > left output > Input of my Hiwatt Custom 50.

Without the G-Sharp, I don't have this very audible hiss...
I tried different guitars and cables and stompboxes.

I noticed that when I engage the kill-dry switch or turn the effect and reverb mix full clockwise, the noise become acceptable. In fact the noise appear when I can hear the dry sound of my guitar. 

I also tried the G-Sharp in the effect loop of my bass amp (serial loop) with my bass: same issue... With the kill-dry engaged, not too much hiss but no dry signal from my bass

Is my G-sharp defective ?

Thanks

ps : sorry for my bad English, I'm French...

Same problem here.
I used de G-sharp with a boogie nomad 55 and had no problem.
Recently I bought a Fender Deville and now I have the same problem as Nicolas. Even when I use it in the effects loop.

Nicolas, have you found a solution for this ?

My G-sharp was replaced with a new one. Same problem....... :[

In serial with other effects or only with my active strat, always this noise. But in a parallel loop, no noise !
The noise / hiss appear only in a serial setup.

Re: Noise issue - help !

I got the same, but with my G-Major... I just posted on this tread 'cause I think it has the same solution. Question is, HOW FIX IT???

my set up: guitar -> amp input -> loop send -> TC Electronics G-Major -> loop Return

PS: My amplifier is a boutique one, based on DR...

Re: Noise issue - help !

I'm using the G-Sharp in the effects loop of a Dumble clone - same problem, hiss.  Hiss is reduced when using parallel mode, but it's still there.   Any ideas?  thanks

Re: Noise issue - help !

I picked one of these up a month ago and ordered the footswitch. Unfortunately I'm having exactly the same hiss issue as reported above. Is there a fix for this? Will a software update help? The effects sound great but almost unusable at lower volume levels thanks to the noise. I've tried it in the loop of three different amps, make little to no difference.
