Sorry to say, I tried that with the 1st layout without success.

And I agree, the delay still sounded great at 9v.

I really thought the noise issue was solved with layout #2.
I sent an email to the guy I made it for, waiting to hear back.

What puzzles me is why the noise when interupting the delay path? What is it about opening that connection causes the charge pump noise to become apparent? Not sure.

I remember if you ground that connection when open, no noise, but you do get a repeating click when you engage the delay.

I wonder if it would be better to open the signal path after the delay chip, rather than before it?
