I discovered that if I place one or two smaller pedals side-by-side on top of the JD-10, the radio interference goes away. I'm low on electrical knowledge, but I'd guess all the metal of the other pedals is shielding the JD-10.

Does that make sense to any electrical engineers out there? If so, would it make sense to shield the inside of the JD-10's metal box with copper foil tape much like what you'd do with a guitar's control cavity?
