Reading someones post in here i discovered they had just bought the Boss ME-50 Multieffects board.

Im wondering if anyone else has this and if theve had any extreme noise problems?

I bought it a week ago to use the great effects to go along with my AMP.

I have a Marshall AVT 150 Half stack and was looking to use the overdrive from my amp with the modulation and delay effects from the board i.e. not really use the boards 10 or so distortion pedals but just add affects to my sound which im happy with.

Now using the clean channel and using the board was fine but once you hit the overdrive channels on my amp an unnacceptable level of noise comes out of the amp. Its almost like i have a thousand pedals in front of the amp and the signal is messy from the thousand connections.

No i wasnt using the Board distortion plus the overdrive, i didnt even have to have the board active but if it was plugged in and i hit the overdrive channel it was terrible. I had to return it as it was unusable unless i used its distortion through my clean channel.

Has anyone else had this problem or can you use your amps overdrive channel with this particular board? The Noise Supressor did nothing to stop the noise.
