Seabed Delay Gone Wild!

Hey guys, just finished my second pedal build and foolishly soldered all the wiring without testing, thinking no biggie. Upon plugging it in and playing around, I noticed that (though it does sound cool) it probably shouldn't sound the way it does. I looked around to see if any components were mixed or out of place but it looked fine to me. I did a bit of digging on the forum and saw someone suggest using an audio probe to troubleshoot but I don’t have a spare 1/4” jack to make one at the moment. Now I COULD pull out the output jack of this pedal to make one but I thought id grab a second opinion here first.
Heres a link to a demo of what it sounds like:
Seabed Delay Test Demo
Thanks in advance!

nothing looks out of place component wise....but honestly I'd leave it like that because it sounds rad as hell hahah. What happens when you turn the repeats down? could just be self oscillation
I desoldered the DC jack to get a photo of the bottom but I just resoldered it back on to show you and I think it fixed itself lmao. I'm guessing the issue was probably related to the wiring? No more funky alien noises when I put it on max repeat and 0 delay like yesterday. Here's a link to compare: Seabed Delay Demo 2. I tried 0 repeat at first and the tried to put it on the same settings as the last time at 2:20 but it definitely wasn't the same.
