I've been doing stompboxes in the last three years without to much trouble but now I'm dazzled about the noise level of my last build

I build the Obsedian-T (4 x 2n5089) lately and I must say that for the palm muted chunk, it's amazing!!
I'd like to know what to expect from it in terms of noise level!
So the thing I'd like to know is in your opinion, is the noise level of the Obsedian-T significantly higher compared to let's say the Guv'nor?

Thanks

Maybe I should had more details! (It's Obsidian-T, typo...)

First, I do have a Guv'nor that work very well (a must build, with my gear, I get something close to Death Magnetic).
Second, I know that there's a fair amount of noise that come from my gear!
Third, don't worry I got through the enclosure, grounding, checking solder joints thing, etc!

So what I want to know :  is it normal if I have more background hum and hiss coming from a well build Obsidian-T compared to a well build Guv'nor ?

Oh and did you succeed in lowering that noise by changing the components ?  I used the vero layout by Xavier.
