i agree with craz on the eq.  I've also had success with a bandpass filter at times.

A lot of compressors do.. but that's hardly the point here. If you want to 
get rid of noise, buy either a good noise gate, or some kind of denoiser. 
Buying a compressor just because it has a (often sub-standard) noise-gate 
on board.. is not a very wise thing to do (in my humble opionion).

Gating, in this case, is a bad idea anyway. The SIDStation's noise is far 
from 'silent'.. and trying to gate that would definitely have a devastating 
effect on the SID's characteristic sound itself. That's why a denoiser (or 
even a well-configured EQ) is a much better choice.
