Alright, my seriously smart friends. I need help. I decided to try something different. This TS-50 pedal from AionFX looks promising and unique. It incorporates three inductors and a DC converter. I finished the build and it passes signal both in bypass and active, but it's NOISY! There's a decent amount of static in bypass, and a ton when active. The static is exacerbated by increasing gain and/or treble.
I tried a different op amp with no success. I checked my solder points for bridges, blobs, and cold joints, and couldn't find any. I reinforced the soldering around the legs of the pots, since I've had that issue a couple of times in the past.
Oh! And the LED only lights dimly. I thought that was strange, for sure. (I thought it might have burned out at one point while I was troubleshooting, so I pulled it, which is why it's not in the pictures.)
Suggestions?
