Just populated and wired up my Quarantine Fuzz.

I am getting no signal when the pedal is engaged. Bypass is fine.

Also I noticed is when the pedal is bypassed the LED stays on (but reduces in intensity by ~75%).

I went back and double checked everything. Not sure what to do next.

Here are some pics:

It's really hard to tell from the photos, but I'm 90% sure your switch is wired wrong. Although it may not be obvious, on page 4 of the Build Docs the art (solder) side of the board is facing up. You can face the board any way you like when you put it in the box, but it has to be wired per the Build Docs.

The way your pots are wired, the rotation will be backwards.

One more thing: your pots don't have dust caps, so be sure they don't short to the board when you install it in the box.
