Thanks for the advice.  I've had some trouble with getting it running in box.  I've used the insulating tape and that seemed to work but I found that the pedal would function if IC 2 had a little pressure on it, I wonder if the low clearance sockets are not soldered well or the IC isn't seated.  I've found reinserting it to make the pedal function for a period of time then it would stop.  I've had some issues withe the SPDT switch as well.  I wonder if that might be suspect seating into the PCB and it is causing the circuit to short or the IC2 to short?

When the pedal is functioning its pretty cool!  I will hopefully get some time to work on it the upcoming week.  It might be good to come at it with fresh eyes.  Also building a moar and a glam as well.

Hi everyone, first post!

This is my second pedal build.  I boxed it (I know, I let you down) and found the pedal to not be functioning, it bypassed just fine.  When I unboxed it and found a single unsoldered resistor, I tried it again not in the enclosure and low and behold it is functioning just fine.  Got excited and boxed it up and again it is not functioning.  I will get voltages as soon as I can.  It was working when not in the enclosure I wonder if there is some sort of grounding issue?

I'm enjoying the new hobby, I am going to be building a testing rig next instead of charging forward with boxing new builds.
