I read a lot of good things about the Award Session JD-10. I was looking for a pre-amp/amp emulator to go straight to a PA boad. I recently was able to get a NOS JD-10. It's the model that was sold under the Morely brand. It's in new condition and works great, but...

I get a lot of white noise even at low-mid gain settings. There's even audible radio broadcasts at times. I get the same problem plugging into numerous amps, mixing boards, etc... so I've ruled out other equipment.

Anybody else experienced this? Do I just need to buy a noise gate pedal?
