Not sure where to go from here..might just be easier to start over. I have another board. I really appreciate your help.

Fair enough, I use what's on hand. Perhaps that's why I'm here with a non working project. 1k8..brown, gray, black, brown, brown 470r..yellow, purple, black, black, brown 820r..gray, red, black, black, brown 1k5..brown, gray, black, brown, brown Edit: The 1/8 is hard to see 1k5...looks like...

Thanks again for trying to help. Gain knob acts pretty much like a volume control. The highlighted resistors are the correct values. Confirmed by bands and DMM

Thanks for the reply. My iron sits around 790. The green is producing no gain. It works like a boost pedal.

Thanks so much for taking a look! Have continuity between colors. Edit: have continuity within colors.

Maybe this is a better picture.

I went through all caps and resistors and could not find any mistakes.

I will give this one more try. Can anybody offer any guidance?

Not sure where to probe. Anybody have any ideas? It's very close to working, just cant get any gain out of the green side.

Where would I probe?

Thanks szuk, it appears they are the same. I also have j112 and j113. Im fairly limited in my knowledge, but I believe it is not part of the distortion matrix, maybe a buffer?

Anybody have any thoughts? I got a shipment in from BLMS, so now have the proper pots in. The pedal works perfectly except for not having any appreciable gain on the green side.

Blue side sounds absolutely glorious. 10/10. Green side has almost no gain. Volume and tone work as expected. I have built a few of these, so I know something is amiss. Really scratching my head. I believe all components are correct except a few I didnt have: 2n5457 instead of j201...

If you look below LED1 from the solder side of the board, it looks like there is a small flake of wire between two of the pads.

2 joints below the LED there appears to be a short.

Update, I could never figure it out. Built another and it's perfect. We will call this one solved.

Are the back of the pots insulated in any way? They can short against your solder joints.
