@PedalBuilder was generous enough to offer me a PCB he had made for can LM308s and I got it wired up today. I replaced the clipping diodes with 1n34 germaniums just to see how those did, but I socketed them to be able to try some different things out.
I spent HOURS trying to get it working. After getting it all wired up, I plugged it in and no sound, even bypassed. I assumed it was the 3pdt switch being faulty so I changed it out to no avail. I then went out and drilled a 1590bb box to give it more space that the 125b i had initially put it in thinking that maybe the jacks were crowded and possibly grounding out. Still no sound. I finally got out the DMM and checked continuity and found that the switchcraft input jack was faulty and was internally shorted from tip to sleeve. Lesson learned!! I'll start with continuity next time... rookie mistake.
Anyway, I'm pleased with the way that they pedal came out and really happy with how it sounds. And thanks again to @PedalBuilder for the PCB!!
