How quiet is EBS compressor?

My Opto Stomp is super quiet but it's too subtle for me. I want to replace it with a different compressor. Reviews tell me it's not noisy. I just want to hear from actual users about the EBS's noise level.

I just tested it with headphones because the kids are sleeping. Maxed out the gain and compression and put it in passive mode to get the most gain out of the pedal and I detected no noise. Maybe if you have a rig with a lot of tweeters you may hear some, but in my testing - no noise.

I have never been able to detect self noise from my multicomp, also love the way it sounds.

I love the modes toggle with the MultiComp.
Great pedal.

Dead quiet to my ears. Great pedal. Subtle though.

The Opto Stomp is going back and a Multicomp is coming!
