Spirit box no wet signal (noob Q)

I'm having a problem with my previously working spirit box, where I am no longer getting any wet signal after the r4 17k mod. I've even switched it back, but no fix yet. I am getting 5v at the pt2399, Belton brick, and the left leg of both L78L05s. I'm at a loss as to what else could be going wrong? I have no problem with getting dry signal through and noise increases with the depth knob. I can also hear the reverb effect if I jumper legs 13/14 on the pt2399. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
 
If you use an audio probe you can find the spot where the signal actually stops passing through. I recommend giving that a shot. If you search the forum for audio probe, there are lots of threads explaining the concept.

So I fashioned up an audio probe, and Im not sure if Ive located the problem, but I am only getting signal from pin 15 of the pt2399, and it is getting pretty warm. Has the IC fried and needs replacing?
