AION Ceres losing volume

[Strat68]

I built the Ceres and although it outputs sound and seems to sound like it should, the volume is half of the unmodified signal. I traced the. Signal and it appears the signal drops in strength around Q4 or Q5. (I attached the build .pdf file with schematic). I have been working through verifying parts and so far so good. I am not experienced with how the JFETs operate. Any help is appreciated.

Hello there.

This is quoted from the pinned thread at the top of this subforum:

Please supply Pictures of PCB & ALL connections ( Footswitch, Input & Output Jacks, Power Jack ) to it along with a clear explanation of the Issue with your Build in the Troubleshooting Forum!
You will save a lot of Back & Forth guessing from the Help available to you if we can see the actual Build!
This will result in a quicker & less stressful environment!
