Thanks MAO. I tried insulating the 220n cap just as suggested, no effect on the noise. I played with Q2 bias which also had no discernible effect. Pulling the charge pump definitely eliminates it. The few minutes I played it with/without the CP, I couldn't really tell the difference between 9V and 18V. I understand the headroom in theory but even with a hot signal (humbucker>G2 Muff>Hamlet) I couldn't tell much difference. The PT2399 noise is unbearable in a recording/studio environment but for live, loud, heavy rock it doesn't bother me. If you know it's there its noticeable when all other instruments drop out leaving just the delayed guitar signals but so is snare vibration, 60 Hz hum, etc.
