Putting a .1uf across the caps did not help. I upped the 33uf caps to 100uf in the +8 supply and changed the resistor on the intensity pot back to 15k as per the specs. The thumping has decreased about 50% in volume but is still noticeable.

I checked with the DVM around the transistors you noted. All of them have pulsing voltages when the tremolo is activated. When I unground the jack, the noise stops and the voltages stabilize.
