I built the dream fuzz pedal and I’m I am having an unbelievably high amount of background “noise”. The hissing sound can be controlled (louder and softer) with the use of volume and sustain. It also will change timbre with the use of the tone know. All of that leads me to believe the circuit is functioning properly, but I do not know enough to troubleshoot where hissing could be coming from. Unfortunately I can not bring the sustain up high enough to get the fuzz without too high of hissing.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Edited with photos. I can take out of box if needed. There are two larger physical size resistors as I ordered incorrect. All solder points have been redone.
