Im getting sound thru with my Kraken, but no effects.  Pin 5 on my IC1 and Q2 Collector is giving me 3.26 volts instead of 0.598 volts.  Any thoughts?  Thanks guys.

9.57 Volts

Ok solved the problem.  Replaced IC1 CA3080 with LM3080 and it works like a charm. 
It vexed me because I tested the circuit before I boxed it, and everything was great.  Some how that IC got zapped or just went faulty.  Cheap parts.
