My Kickain is a little noisy for some reason. There is noticable high frequency noise no matter how I change the settings of the module. I have tried every combination of settings but I always hear it. I am able to filter it out with EQ or a LPF but that makes me kinda grumpy becuase it eats one of my filters. I have updated to the latest firmware but that does not help. I have also tried putting the Kickain in its own palette with a dedicated power supply and also does not make a difference. Love the Kickain but this is taking the shine off my love a bit. Help.

It’s normal to expect a certain amount of noise with any device but make sure you are gain staging the input sufficiently, there is an led to show input overload, ideally this should be nearly lighting up for the best signal to noise ratio.
Do you always hear it?
I just got the unit and get a very nasty high pitched digital distortion (that's how it sounds to me) when I play the "accent". I'll do a video/audio of it.
