… Is “always listening” listening a setting somewhere?
No, just a descriptive phrase I picked up, probably from looping. Due to the way it’s internally routed, some looper / delays may still ‘feed’ the delay line, regardless of mix or bypass status. Consider that to be the exact opposite of the behavior you’re looking for.
I have a few H9s, but none with the factory presets still intact. So the original Digital Delay & Tape Delay algorithms, ported from TimeFactor. It’s someplace for me to start. Please check that your Feedback levels are a little less than 100%. From 101-110 (and sometimes less) easily gets into runaway feedback that is difficult to shake. (Reloading the Program does work).

My first thought is that you can make the H90 Looper do exactly what you’re describing, Short Record time, Autoplay mode, Loop Decay 0. You wouldn’t be using Bypass, probably a HotSwitch to bring the ‘stutter’ in & out.
Along those same lines (only in the H90), you can try giving Head Space a spin. Sticky Tape is great, but not for this maximum Feedback application. My go-to for digital delay FX would be UltraTap. I’m not sure yet whether it can produce the results you are looking for.
