I’m reading elsewhere that the black wire should be connected to the ring of an I/O, not sleeve. Wondering if that was my goof. Will try tomorrow.
It's a good idea to make that change, but doubtful that it will help the noise problem. The reason for connecting to the ring of the jack (generally the input) is so that the battery won't have a path to ground unless there's a cable inserted in the jack, which causes the ring to contact the sleeve of the cable tip. That makes it easy to preserve battery life by pulling the cable out of the jack and disrupting the required ground path for the battery, when the pedal is not in use.
