Thanks, I find that the old Bumble bee caps work well with my Deluxe reverb when I’m driving it for rhythm and lead, as I come in for a solo it adds a bit more top as I turn up the volume on the guitar to give a bit of cut through the amp break up. But If I want a low volume on the Les Paul but to keep the sweet treble then the EHX LPB-1 is bloody brilliant for putting that sweetness back in. You just set the LPB-1 to match the volume you want. Very useful. The Worm is good for beefing up a Tele I put it on the Trem setting with the range up and the manual switch kicked in, and it adds just the right amount of bass boost. I never got the worm for an EQ but that is how I’ve ended up using it.

My Worm has the same thing, it seems as if the input of the Worm is very sensitive for a Gibson neck Burstbucker when the guitar volume is on full, especially when you play with your thumb in a punchy way. I’ll wager it’s not your amp but a high output pickup and your guitar volume on ten. By lowering the guitar volume on the guitar it helps. Also by lowering the range control on the Worm to a less bassy sound helps. The LPB-1 is similar with it’s sensitive input, another fave EHX pedal of mine. Lowering the guitar volume helps this but not the hiss.
You have to work your guitar volume knob with EHX sometimes (same for old tube amps and Pignose). So many young players these days just leave the guitar volume on ten, but you get more tones out of a good old volume pot at differing levels for different applications.
I also bet that if EHX fixed the sensitive inputs the pedals would probably not sound as good overall. I tried a little experiment putting the LPB-1 before the Worm to either lower or higher the input signal and discovered you can either decrease the breakup or send it into fuzz land.

(I use a Gibson 58 VOS Les Paul or Fender 52 Tele into a 1966 Fender Deluxe Reverb or a Marshall 1973 Lead and Bass 50 watt half stack or a Pignose 7-100)
