I added the switch as described in this thread and it works well:

that middle a100k pot above the pcb, does it have a dust cover like the others? I can seen them on the other five, might just be the angle though. If not it could be shorting out.
I’m kind of ready to give up as well, this weekend went over entire path with an audio probe and can’t really tell why the gain lowers after IC1 and red lower anything that looked remotely cold or suspect with no change.
Thanks for the help so far. Gave the board a good scrubbing and got rid of any flux and it’s behaving the same way. One more potential clue, at max vol/gain overall crunchy tone the level is below unity / bypass signal volume.
I've built about 15 pedals so far with pretty minimal troubleshooting issues but this Dream Fuzz has me stumped. Audio passes through fine in bypass and when the effect is engaged the pots behave as expected except the gain is much lower than it should be, at highest gain setting it has a little...
