I know for me the Vocalizer settings were a bit confusing especially at first. I tried also playing my guitar through the mic input and the effect settings would be wrong. Sometimes I got a hiss too, but it was because I had the wrong effect on. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong, but I can't say with any certainty that this is what your trouble with the vocalizer is. It could very well be an OS glitch in your case. The reason I say this is because right now my 2000 is in the shop for two reasons. one is a mechanical problem with the floppy drive ( the discs don't pop out when I release them ). The second is an OS problem. My mixer settings aren't always recalled correctly for some of the registrations I have saved. Sometimes, when I'm in a style and I change registrations ( with the proper freeze functions set ), a lot of the functions that are supposed to be frozen change anyway. Since I use my reg memories primarily for voice setups rather than style setups, I notice that sometimes the voices come up with the wrong mixer settings ( ie. dual voicings and the mixer settings for each of the voices ..effects and simple synth fuctions ). Worse yet, the arranger voices are also sometimes affected. For example, if I switch from a harmonica set up I've saved to a lead guitar via the reg memory, sometimes the arranger voices pick up the distortion effect too, although I know I saved the registration correctly with the proper freeze functions setup so that isn't supposed to happen. The thing that frustrated me is that it only happened sometimes. Other times the reg memory performs exactly as I saved it.
