If you can positively prove it is the DD7 that is picking up the RFI then I would contact the manfctrs, there might be some mods . In fact there almost certainly are since in this day and age if you DON'T fit RFI filters in sstate gear you are going to get breakthough. I am surprised it got through the EMI testing regime.
You could try some Maplin clip on ferrite cores on input and output patch leads but you will need new leads since you need to put several turns through the ferrites for them to have an effect.
Must be said however that RFI is often very difficult to eradicate unless the filters are fitted inside the gear.

As a side note, that marshall MG surprised me, sounded half decent for what it was with a bit of tweaking.
Edit - didn't post this then saw it was a borrowed Marshall so it's probably that.
Most modern Marshalls have a 'partial ground lift' arrangement to prevent ground loops when using them with other equipment, but this can also cause interference sometimes, depending on what the source is. You could get around it by having your pedalboard DC ground earthed, although you'd need it switchable so it didn't then cause hum when using it with a normally-grounded amp.

Sell it on to an experimental noise band
Surprised it happened with a digital delay though. You must have been picking up a DAB signal.

I am confused! Was the SOLID STATE DD7 in circuit or not? And I did say "if you can prove....."
Valve amplifiers WILL pickup RFI (anything will if the field strength is high enough) but the usual first stage grid stopper, often 68k in combination with the Miller capacitance of the valve plus stray capacitance usually forms an RF stop, a low pass filter.
If an amp design has no stopper or a very low one, worse a pentode front end, RFI is very likely.
I found mobile phone "twitter" broke into just about everything but at a low enough level that it would not be a problem on stage. Recording would be a pain tho!
