Woodcutter distorting

[mattlee0037]

So I just build up the woodcutter and I'm going with a tele into a blackface style amp and with the compression over about 25% it turns into an overdrive pedal. Not too familiar with the circuit, but I took some voltage readings

As far as the opto was concerned I wrapped my LDR and diffuse green LED in electrical tape. Build doc doesn't say whether to wrap or not...

Q2 seems a tad suspect but I'm not quite sure where to begin. Any help is much appreciated

Any thoughts? Going to try to take another stab at this tomorrow....
