I just picked one up Tuesday and yeah way less hiss than the older model (not sure how it compares to the Kerry King model though). My old mxr 10 band was starting to snap crackle and pop in a very bad way... The con or pro pending on how you like it is the blue LED's are fricken SUPER bright.bhuard75":2n6so5ie said:

Looks good a lot better.
In case you guys don't know, the old Boss GE-10 EQ is super quiet and sounds incredible. They can be had for around $100 these days. I have two of them and they sound better than every other EQ I've used besides my custom Boogie stereo GEQ.

To my ears it sounds exactly the same but with no noise... I'm guessing they probably copied the popular Silent Night Mod.
Besides the crazy hiss my old mxr 10 band started to really crackle and make popping noises, very similar to when tubes start to go bad, was more noticeable playing clean. I researched it and saw lots of old post on various boards of people with the same problem from 2007-2010, best guess I read was the capacitor inside goes bad at some point and MXR was charging $75 to repair it.
Anyway it works just like the old one but with 90% more brightness to my eyes lol

I have a Whirlwind EQ and love it too, but it's so damn expensive. I'm thinking about creating a 2nd pedalboard and really curious about these new MXR's.

TMK, still share the same Tone suck bypass that the kfk 10 band did.
the KFK was SMT and generic looking board, i would assume its the same board in a better looking package to make the thing actually sell.

I've been running the old black mxr 10 band for about 8 years and have noticed no hiss/noise 
Couldn't be without one.

Agree, the GE-10 is my favorite by far. Wish someone would engineer a board-friendly version. A modded GE-7 sounds great too. Will have to try this MXR out.

I have been looking at the six band.
If this thing already copied the silent night noise mod then what is griffin still doing to them?

Is it even quieter?

I had the 6 band and went with the 10. The 6 has no gain or volume sliders. Someone mentioned it earlier in the thread that it is really bright...Whew, do not stare at that thing for too long
. I did own the black one, I feel that this one is more sensitive and gets there quicker on adjustments.
