"Click" when turning on TBP PT2399 Based Delays

Hi,
I'm having this issue with true bypass PT2399 based delays. When I turn the pedal on it introduces a little "click" on the circuit that is repeated by the delay circuit. I just wanted to know what have you guys done about it before I just make it not TBP. I know merlin's Small Time uses a single transistor and diode circuit for the tails bypass, and I'm considering using it if I can't have absolutely no clicks when making it TBP.

Cheers!

Depending on the specific delay, the tails setup may need to be different. However, tails is very easy to add to PT2399s, and considering the dry path is usually slightly colored, I find tails to be useful in maintaining tonal nuetrality.
