Cave dweller debug help

Been troubleshooting a cave dweller I built the other day. I'm getting very low guitar signal through the effect but no delay. Pots do nothing except raise and lower volume somewhat.

Using an audio probe I followed the signal from the input to LPF1-in on the pt2399, from there I can't find the signal anymore. LPF1-out does not have a signal. Is the chip fried? Maybe a solder bridge to ground? I've inspected the board extensively and can't find anything visible.

Help!

Can you remove the IC and get audio? Delays I believe are the only ones you can do that with. Also have you tried different chips? Is your soldering good? What are your voltages.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.
