Still, seeing the outside of it does not help much. Clear pics of the inside will get you more helpful comments

Brett has a point, if it's a stereo version, then the ring lugs is already grounded to the sleeve, and connecting the tip to the ring, you would just ground everything. EDIT : A quick test you could do. Insert your cable in the jack and test with your multimeter for continuity between sleeve...

The in and ou wires are soldered to both 2 and 4, so it should be ok. There just would be no switching. Could we see your footswitch wiring. In fact, can we see the whole thing ?

That sheet says 1 = Sleeve, 2= Tip ... should work

I bend the legs of resistors and caps. Sockets and anything that has more that 2 leads, I tack 1 lead quickly with my iron, position it while applying just enough heat, then solder everything without forgetting to go back at that first lead. Togglesand pots, I install them in the drilled...

I saw the rat, then the rabbit. Funny how when you know it's a cow it becomes hard to see anything else.

Next time, you could have just left it there and heat that pad when inserting your socket or ic. Having solder on more than one pad may not be ideal, but just one is manageable. Hope it still works, it does not look too bad. (Edit, just saw your answer above, great)

Tape on the pot is not a good solution to protect it, it could be already punctured and make contact on any solder joint over it.

Was about to post this.

100K 30C is what it looks like to be from the schematic.

Is the board touching that bottom potentiometer? If you don't have any cap, I would suggest you use the one on the top pot for that one.

I wired them to the terminals... I'm not 100% happy with the placement but I like how the selected channel is indicated. Edit: If I'd do it again, I think I would align them with the volume/deep axis.

The ICs I used came from Tayda and could definitely be the source of the noise, I may have cold joints due to fear of frying the ICs. For the ground rail, I used 18awg buss wire from next gen, I had some left from an amp project. I think it could endure a lot, maybe not being dropped from a few...

I did the same project. I used some heavier gauge wire to help support and keep everything in place. Still, I need to work on mine, it's noisy. Great job !

Honestly, I'm not sure... it almost looks like the one with the bad led placement had the double treatment ... maybe the first pass could have been bad so someone decided to redo it a second time ? Who knows what goes on at tayda.
