Are you using a reamping device to match the levels and
impedance?  That white noise can't be heard when you're
going directly from the MD's lines out to a mixer or audio
interface's lines in.  Guitar pedals expect instrument level
signals with high impedance, so you would typically need the
Reamp or Radial X-Amp to keep everything quiet.
