So, I've finally got around to the artwork on this one. I kept the temporary knobs and worked around that. The artwork is my attempt to hand paint something pixelated and it shows. I waited months for the art inspiration as well as nicer weather to rattle can some primer and gloss. This is still...

Breadboarding isn't hard. You just have to do it and think a bit differently than "solder by number". There's a bit of a puzzle involved. For a simple SHO it won't be difficult. There are tons of pics in the Test Kitchen to go from schematic to breadboard. It's a good skill to learn if you're...

An overgeneralization, but the larger the speaker, the more low end and more volume can go through. More speakers do not necessarily mean more volume. In other words, going from a 2x12 to a 4x12 doesn't mean your cab it 4x louder.

The diodes act as hard clippers and with R5 thrown in there the give asymmetric clipping. They don’t need to be matched.

Run your iron down the tracks to clean up the solder bridges. That may be your problem.

IPA and a toothbrush will work just fine. Doing it once will give you decent results, but like OP said there is still some residue. Simply clean it again.

That's most of my pedals. Set it and forget it!

What is the difference between "Speaker" and "Line Out"? Separately, how sensitive is the tempo control?

Awesome job for a first family project!

How tf did you get all those wires in there?

Can we see the other side of your board?

You mean once power is applied or once you activate the foot switch? Some pedals take a second to charge up all the electrolytic.

If you'd like to socket the components and find out, try it. IMO, and I could be wrong, it won't change much. The parentheses is merely a SHO into a green ringer into a rat. Most tone coloring happens at the end of the circuit (Rat). If you want more low end you may want to fiddle around with...

Keep in mind @BJG that with you switch as is, the BIAS control will only be useful when the selector switch is engaged one way. Not sure if you want to incorporate that or not into both transistors.

You're soldering looks ok for the most part. I would reflow all joints just to make sure nothing is cold. Also, have you confirmed each and every component value (resistor and capacitor)?

Can you open it up and show us the guts? There's clearly something going on...

Try cleaning your board with some IPA and a toothbrush. Reflow all joints especially around the treble pot C21, C13, C14, C15

Does transistor choice matter?
