SOLVED Parantheses Mini octave issues

I’ve been looking through some threads here, and checking my values/solders/etc, all with no luck. When I turn up the octave control on the pedal, I get no octave, but the gain/output increases somewhat. Everything else is working fine. I just noticed that the PCB itself and the build docs image of the PCB have a discrepancy: the direction of the Ge diodes d3 and d2. On the pcb itself, the stripe is up, toward the IC, and on the build docs version, it’s the opposite. I installed the diodes (1n270s) with the stripe facing up - could this be my issue?
 
EDIT: Scratch that, I just realized you said "Mini" ...

Yep, flip your diodes around and see if that helps. The stripe is on the opposite end of 1N270's.
