Thanks for the review.

I assume that you mean high noise to signal ratio, or low signal to =
noise. Basically, your description is telling me that this thing has a =
high noise floor, and the various distortion/gain stages conspire to =
make that worse. Apparently, nothing can be done about this ever-present =
noise, even with the gain settings toned down.

Sounds like a description of a vintage synth - especially one with =
chorus (although this one doesn=E2=80=99t).
