nope.. you will still get the dry side noise. However, it's possible to run at lower power and create the wave. Vortech is fairly quite at 80% power.

Oh he is got a symphony al'right. You should ask him how many mp40's he got on his tank. I have to bring my own microphone just to carry a conversation with him.

it's just a simple box made out of 1/8" ABS plastics, took me less than 10 minutes to make. and a hole big enough to put the mp10 inside.
