Getting a bit of clock noise from my dig dug in bypass mode. I've re-routed the +9v wire but to no better effect. I've heard in the past shielded wire can help but where? Input, PCB-In, PCB-Out or Output? Any thoughts? Thanks!

I had asked Brian the same sort of question for the compressor I put together, where I was getting a lot of noise from the house power.  I don't know if this answer would be the same for your problem, but here is madbean's quote anyway.

Solder that to the FX output on the board. Make sure you trim away the braided portion completely on that end. On the other end, expose the inner wire. That gets attached to your 3pdt. The braided part gets rolled up together. You might want to solder a small piece of wire to that and then that gets attached to ground. So, one end it grounded, not both....

I bought some rg-174 for that purpose but I still haven't gotten around to installing it.
