Anybody found a use for this in their mixes? What do you use it for? What works? What sucks?

?? Q.
 
I've used it with some success. I've used it for "warming" tracks (giving a bit of distortion/OD). It seems a bit crude for use as a bus effect.

I've used the hiss generator for Craig Andertons "Mixing with Noise" trick - mentioned in his book "Sonar 3 Mixing and Mastering". I HIGHLY recommend the book:

Mixing with noise is his way of temporarily adding pink noise in a mix to determine the relative ballance of tracks and verify that critical instruments are peaking above the mix and don't get lost in the noise. Here's more on that:
