Do you have a picture of everything all finished? Q3 and 4 are the mpsa14 right? You used the vintage part and those are oriented right? I have built a lot of aion builds and his off board wiring throws alot of people. It's not my favorite off board wiring layout tbh.
How are the joints under the cloth?
If no one sees it, no one knows it never worked…I think I'm superstitious about posting build reports before the build is done. I don't even like taking pictures til I've tested and I know it works

Yeah I mean no shame in it not working. It's just always more fun when a new pedal works from the get go
I just was saying how I really like the uniformity of PedalPCB's board layout/format I have a bunch of 3Pdt's already pre-fabbed up along with my in/ out jacks makes it so nice troubleshooting is much easier to finalizeI know. I’ve been spoiled but, and this should not be a shock, I rushed a little on this. And I F’in hate Aion’s breakout board. In general, I avoid breakout boards when I can. They don’t make things any easier for me and I have a very solid and efficient offboard wiring protocol.
I’ve just been spoiled by PedalPCB.
The two wires going from the main board to the daughter board next to the output wire, disconnect those, they are ground wires and not needed. They are connected to nc pads and that may be a possible issue
Glad it's working, I have a board for this from fuzzdog might have to put it together, how's it sound?
A lot of your joints (and the boards) could be cleaned up. The braided ground shield could be a potential source of a short. How much heat are you applying? The jacks look like they've been damaged.
Also, are you sure about the value of R19? It looks like Brown-Black-Black-Brown-Brown (1k) from the picture. Dropping 2V from what is probably a series resistor with the DC in is suspect. You could check for continuity and confirm that it is a series resistor on the power rail and jump it if you don't want it.
