Fuzz Face high pitch oscillation

Hey guys, I built a fuzz face with nos parts and a pigeon fx pcb, trying to replicate an original silicon fuzz face. I keep getting this high pitch oscillation noise in the pedal no matter what I change. I breadboarded out the exact components to find it working perfectly with no noise. I'm starting to think it might be a faulty pcb? I see lots of other pedal builders with these pcbs and nos parts in the original layout with working pedals and no noise. What do you guys think it is?

Here is a link to soundcloud, the first half is the pcb and second half is the breadboard:

Yep, sounds like audio path in and out traces too close together. I would audio probe to see if you can find where it's introduced. I think it's the PCB as well.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.
