MicroBR - weird noise on background during bending

Hi,
I would like to ask owners of MicroBR for favor.
As I wrote in subject, when I use a patch with distortion, I hear a unpleasant background noise during bend on high tones. It happens during playing as well as recording. I have changed a guitar, even cable, but result is the same. I don't know if it is a "feature" due to e.g. weak processor, low sampling or a bug.

There is a sample: http://www.box.net/shared/x97254jgq8 for better understanding.
factory patch P03:MetlCore was used.

Could somebody play a similar bend phrase on his/her MicroBR and post the result here, please ?

Thank you very much.

    There within lies the answer, filo. Although the MBR is a fantastic bit of kit for the price, it is, when all is said and done, a processor.
     Personally, I quite like that weirdness in the tone. But thats me for ya...

Yes, I agree with that. But (I hope) there is still a chance that it is a bug only in my MBR  ;)

It's not just your Micro BR. Using the same patch settings, I was able to reproduce the same noise on my BR-864. I believe it's a digital artefact of the modelling algorithms for the METAL and METAL-D preamp effects.
