SOLVED KOT - nothing works at startup

Hi y'all, this is my fifth pedal build but this one causes me headaches.

The PCB was slightly different from the one in the manual,
still I think I got everything in the right place
(not certain about the switches though)
Bypassed sounds
When engaged, no leds no sounds.

Traced all connections and resoldered everything
When measuring at the 9v-GND on top
I measure 0V though the 9v power supply is connected

Any help would be appreciated!

Looks like you have your in/out jack grounds joined to the DC jack instead of the ground points on the board. I guess that might work if your jacks and footswitches were all grounded to the enclosure, but I don't know if that will work for testing out of the enclosure.
 
Probing until there was no sound..one leg of 5he 6.8k still has tone..the other side hasn't. The R still measures 6k8. But after RB10 there's no sound

Resoldering didn't solve the problem. Is this just a bad resistor or a faulty PCB?

Very gratefull for the help, I'm learning A LOT!

Good thinking, I measured and it should be fine but I'll replace those wires asap. Tanx!
