Wouldn't hurt. Current draw is around 2.5mA. I wouldn't go any higher than 470Ω. I'll give it a try on the breadboard...
Dunno about yours, but what I've got on my board is eerily low noise.Make that 3.2mA. 700mV drop in a 220Ω resistor. Seems to work ok. I know you set the bias lower on yours so the current draw will less.
You must have built the MXR noise gate instead…Mine is dead silent. Probably due to the fact I haven't built it, but I haven't yet finished diagnosing, so I'm not going to commit to that possibility.
I don't think the PNP version would be more susceptible. Either polarity requires clean 9V power.So would the PNP version possibly more susceptible to noise compared to the NPN? A question that nags my brain...
Also, regarding noise suppression, Peter Rutter uses inductors in some of his designs for that, would that be a good one to nudge in?
Is there a typo in that sentence?Mine is dead silent. Probably due to the fact I haven't built it, but I haven't yet finished diagnosing, so I'm not going to commit to that possibility.
