Two Notes Le Bass Players Club

Just got my Le Bass and the white noise is horrible. Humming is constant and there even when I am using it with only headphones. Really upset that a pedal at this pricepoint would sound like it had a bee's nest in it. Sending it back tomorrow and getting a darkglass

Sounds like yours (or your powersupply) has a issue then, mines dead quiet.
 
+1 getbthe power supply right both in voltage and mA's with an isolated source and it's fine (unless it's a faulty unit)
You will still getbnoise with DG pedals or anything with an overdriven signal. I can compare because I have a few DG pedals, a SG amp and the Le Bass
 
Yes but it sounds better IMO mixed in with the extra bottom from channel A in Cold Fusion mode.
That's the sound I've heard from the samples that I liked the most. Cold fusion with either a little bit of that broken up sound from Channel B dialed in or Channel B with a little bit of the low end from channel A.

Only other complaint I've seen from some people is the cab sim is too dark for their taste, but personally I haven't heard that from the sound clips I've heard and I tend to like a pretty dark full bass sound anyway.

I've heard that changing it to a more stable power supply, even running it on 9 volts. Tell me if it works...
 
Unfortunately my Le Bass has developed a fault after 10 months (luckily within warranty). When either switch is depressed I just get a low volume distorted signal. I tried a different valve and power supply but no good.
It's going back tomorrow.....
 
Just wanted to share / update y'all on my tube experience. So I've had a Ruby 12AT7C in my LeBass since last summer. Today it fizzled out and died. Started to get some weird distortion and volume pumping. Ruled out other variables so I put in a Ruby 12AX7AC5.

Still loving' LeBass. I'm not a big tube person so I don't know how long they should last but I figured longer than that... Probably has 200-400 hours on it.
