Kingslayer problem

[REPTAR]

I recently built a kingslayer.  I chose the buffered version.  In bypass and effect on, the led stays on.  I'm thinking it may be something to do with the switch? I used a dpdt.  I get sound in both bypass and when the effect is on.  When it's on, it acts as a clean boost, the switches don't have any effect on the sound, and I can't manage to get any clipping out of it. The gain pot acts as if it is wired backwards, but it's not, I triple checked, and it just makes the volume louder, it doesn't add any dirt to the signal.  I have 1n34 in D4 & D5, red 3mm leds in D8 & D9, and bat46 in D2 & D3.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Di you check for solder bridges and all the basic trouble shooting stuffs?

yep.  Everything looks fine to me.

Everything works fine if I wire it for true bypass.  In buffer mode, it only works if I disconnect the ground/sleeve connection to the switch, which disables the led.

I noticed that also with mine. The led is grounded to the enclosure itself on mine and the hot wire goes to the board. Works, and I think that's weird.
