Pumbaa Distortion - No sound when engaged

[seangarland123]

My turn to ask for some help. I'm still fairly new to building pedals, and had about 10 pedals that worked great, but suddenly I've been on a bad streak, and this is my 2nd pedal that's got an issue.

Building the Pumbaa Distortion, and I get full sound when bypassed. When engaged, the sound is so low (even when volume and gain are cranked) as to be imperceptible. When playing, I see that both LED's light, then slowly fade with the sound.

Any help would be appreciated!

You should be getting around that voltage on pin 7.
If not, you have an issue with a bad solder joint or debris on your solder side of the board.
It has to been clean of any flux or stray solder bits!!!

So, I just retested the pins. Don’t know what I did wrong the first time, but:

1 = 149.7mv
2 = 4.31v
3 = 4.25v
4 = 0?
5 = 149.9mv
6 = 4.31v
7 = 8.64v
8 = between .3-.9 mv

1 = 149.7mv
2 = 4.31v
3 = 4.25v
4 = 0?
5 = fluctuating between .3-.9mv
6 = 8.64v
7 = 4.31v
8 = 149.9mv

Pin 6 & 7 voltages are back the front!
1.........8
2.........7
3.........6
4.........5
Tap the enclosure on its corner on the bench to see if any stray bits of solder or wire fall out???

I need the current voltages again?.
1.........8
2.........7
3.........6
4.........5

EDIT: last one didn’t format well

1 = 149.7mv
2 = 4.31v
3 = 4.25v
