I haven't noticed a lot with mine, but I haven't been able to play it much either. I went right for the wall wart myself. I heard the same stories.

Now if I can just get the bloody thing set where I want it.

I haven't noticed any hiss but I have some extra sounds like tapping when the Mod knob is set to the maximum. Backing off a little takes care of it.

I haven't had any hiss or noise trouble at all. I have it hooked up to daisy chain power supply and again works fine.

I have several Line 6 'Tone Core' pedals. Great, but all with the same drawbacks: Very Fiddly to adjust as all the settings you want seem to be in about a millimetre of travel on the pot - and very noisy if sharing a power-supply; at one time I had 5 wall-warts on my board.

Also, although they are built like tanks, unfortunately there's no protection for the rather flimsy knobs. If you drop one and it lands face down, then the weight of the unit would shear the knobs right off.

The M13 that I use for live rock gigs also does some fab things (ie: it can be programmed as four separate Echo Parks/DL4s daisy chained) but has it's annoyances too. For example the one Line 6 pedal it doesn't fully incorporate is my favourite distortion pedal ever - the 'Crunchtone' ... presumably because there's an element of amp modelling in that which is against the M13s stomp-box remit.
