I hadn't really noticed it much, using it in my studio at home, but when I 
used
it in a notably RF unfriendly environment recently, I noticed a lot of 
noise from
my, normally quiet, rig. Part of that may have been a ground loop with the 
PA,
but all my stuff was plugged into the same outlet, and when I bypassed the 
rack
to use just the DG Stomp, it was more quiet, so I'm wondering how much of 
the
noise was from the ground loop. Unfortunately, I didn't have an isolation
interface to test it with. Perhaps I can do that another time.

So, with the shielding issues, it may be more effective on induced noise 
from the
environment that the unit's being used in then the inherent (internal) 
noise of
the thing itself.
