I'm not sure how to describe this issue, but the pedal just doesn't sound right. It maybe sounds like it's gated somehow, the best way I can describe the sound is that it's "broken". I recorded a quick clip here (all knobs at noon): https://on.soundcloud.com/Xs2vb
It's a pretty small build, so I rechecked all the component values and all knobs do work in that they change the sound, but I can't get a good sound out of it. If someone with a working build would be able to share the voltage values at some key spots in the circuit that would be appreciated (I'm thinking the two transistors).
EDIT: marking solved and nothing was actually wrong with the pedal, instead I didn't think of turning off the buffer at the beginning of the chain.
