Hi Aaron
I wasnt sure how good the delay was on the Virus C.
The loud clicking problem doesn't sound to me like an artifact of the 
changing delay time as such. Its much louder than the actual audio.
If you change the delay time on a Boss DD2 say its fairly clean and 
smooth. 
I think somethings not right with the hardware, maybe some ram dying on 
the FX DSP im thinking. 
Its been hard to isolate the problem as its not doing it as much as i 
remember hearing it round a friends.
Ive had it on for 48hours just churning out a preset with loads of fX 
on it. It only seems to play up when you manually change the delay time 
and sometimes the send level.
Saying that id ought to try modulating the delay time with one of the 
LFO's and see what that does on extreme settings.

How was the code written for the command stations out of interest?
Did you use custom tools  / software.

Cheers
Gonz
