More as a reminder to myself, for the next time this problem appears. A
work
around without having to cut into the existing cct to put in an inverter.
Use a small SPDT relay (+emf diode) with power adapted from whatever
convenient rail.
Permanent ground on the flexing ring contact in a 1/4 inch TRS socket and
the fixed ring- contact to the low side of the relay.

The added delay, due to relay action, only adding to the desired effect of
delaying the removal of the gain suppression until after tip contact is made
( unless someone is very slow at plug-in)
