another ultra flanger

[turing]

hi there, got a hollis ultra flanger. i've been through all the posts i could find on this and have tried out a lot of the suggestions.
problem is i've got a ton of noise coming through along with the signal. the signal itself is phenomenal - really screams and swooshes beautifully. there is some slight ticking, but the main issue is a load of sweeping noise and resonance bleeding through when there's no input signal.
i've taken oldrocker's advice to someone else who had similiar issues and stuck the tr3 in and changed the according resistors, plus shielded all connections. is there any other way of fixing this problem? as i say, i already love the sound this thing makes, but i need less grumble out of it.
many thanks

Did you try the 100 ohm resistor in series the the 9v power line and connected to a large cap to ground. (100uf maybe)?
So it would go +9v > 100ohm > + of cap to ground > 9v point of the circuit. This should help with the tick and some noise
if it's in the power supply. Basically a small low pass filter and a sort of shock absorbers for power consumption.

yeah i bumped up against that one before, so for this project i went balls out and did the tonepad lm317 power supply. it's giving me a rock steady 9v, and smoothed and rectified and all that good stuff.
alas, still noise. thanks for the reply though

Did you build it to the geofex schem?  Also did you try a 9 volt battery instead of a power supply to see if it still making noise?

geofex schem indeed, and i will try a battery on it this afternoon, see if that helps at all.
many thanks
