LED turning on/off but no signal when pedal engaged on ADHD build

Hey all, I recently started an ADHD build (build docs here) where the LED works (i.e turns on and off when the footswitch is pressed) but when the LED is on no signal comes through (there is a signal when it's bypassed.) Does anyone have any clue what the issue might be?

If it has signal when it is bypassed but not on, either there is an issue with the circuit itself or wiring to to the board. From what I can tell your footswitch to the board wiring is ok. Can you post some pictures that show everything a littler closer? Some of the solder joints on the back look a little iffy, I would recommend reflowing them. The 2n5457 transistors, did you use smd boards? It is hard to tell in the pics.
