Kliche issue, no sound

Hi guys. I'm having a problem since mounting the Kliche into the enclosure, so it has to be something with the wiring, but everything looks correct to my eye. When I tested the pedal on my protoboard, it worked fine (and sounded great).
When I mounted it into the enclosure, I'm getting the LED working, but no sound, either in bypass or when engaged. Is the wiring off here? I thought everything was where it should be.
Sound sample from test board:

Have you checked your continuity with your footswitch? you may have a solder bridge under the board, you should not get continuity between any of the lugs.

I did. There was no solder bridge, but I had never used that ribbon before, so I changed it out. I also changed out the stereo jack for a mono. Now I'm getting sound in bypass, but still nothing active. So confused because it sounded great on the protoboard.

Here's an updated image:

I put electrical tape under the jacks in case that was it, then that cut the sound in bypass too. So it has to be issues with the jacks because I get no sound at all, then sound in bypass, then nothing again.

I'll pull the wires and resolder everything again tomorrow morning
 
Getting sound in bypass, nothing on accrued. I've resoldered the jacks.

As you can see from the first post, it worked beautifully on the proto board. So maybe I need to redo the footswitch connection now.

I'm at a complete loss

you can check your connections on the footswitch to ensure you don’t have a bridge under the board. There should be continuity between 1,2 and 7,8 when you cycle the switch you should get continuity between 2,3 and 8,9. Also no continuity between lugs (1,4) (2,5) (3,6)(4,7)(5,8(6,9)
 
I’m probably not experienced enough to be offering advise. But I had a similar issue, and it turns out I blew my Zener diode because my power supply was a little over voltage. It’s extremely sensitive it seems.
 
What Voltage are you getting at the 3 Coloured Circles???:

View attachment 23048

So, with the pedal plugged in, and testing voltage with direct current, I'm getting 9v on the 1044 (blue, left), 16 on the TL072 in the center (red) and 9 on the TL072 with blue circled in the bottom right.

To answer carlinB17, I'm getting continuity in all the legs you mention, and no connection where there shouldn't be, so I don't have a solder bridge under.
 
You could attach a wire from the out jack tip and use as an audio probe to check along the audio path....I'd start with the foot switch pads and go from there. (y)
 
This is the Mini, but it's the same idea.

I used the diagram posted for the Mini, both would have worked, but I'm a visual learner so I went with the one with the pics of the wires!!!

Thank you all again, here's a quick demo. I'm a hockey fan (Washington Capitals fan) so had to make my Ovi-Drive
