Does Zoom B1X FOUR multi-effects pedal hiss through amp/PA?

I have a Behringer overdrive pedal, which I can't use for shows because whenever I'm not actively playing, the gain makes it sound like there's rushing water in the building somewhere. Someone recently directed me to the Zoom B1X4 for more effects, and I think I'm going to get it but not being able to use the overdrive for shows would be a big deterrent.

Hello,
I have a B1 Four and haven't noticed any extraneous noise when using it? You can always use the ZNR noise reduction, which is included if you have extra noise?
Hope this helps,
Brent
