Building a socialist jr v1.1 from god city (https://kurtballou.com/docs/GOD CITY INSTRUMENTS - Socialist Jr. V1.1 Build guide.pdf) and I have a grounding problem that I cannot track down. Pics are attached, this is the second time I've put this one together and had this exact problem. I bought the board again because I ended up ripping off some pads trying to figure out this problem, and really don't want to do a third one. The pedal works on a testing platform - it sounds great, I can see the LED diode light up when I click the foot switch. But the bypass LED will not turn off no matter what. I have the output and the power jack loosely connected right now, but soldering them, redoing them, switching them up, I can't figure it out.
