Check my wiring?

Well i've been working on a pedal that has both a boss sg-1 clone in it and an amz mosfet booster wired in series after it. The problem is, I can't seem to wire it correctly. Here's a drawing of how I currently wired: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c225/Zidane1234/workonme.jpg Here are the links to how the circuits wired alone should be: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c225/Zidane1234/fullcircuitboard.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c225/Zidane1234/circuitboarddesign-2.jpg. The second circuit board is made for a millenium bypass. Anywho, whenever I wired them up like this, I managed to get the LED to turn on, but the effects only created an unGodly hum, and, when I would turn the effects off, my guitar wouldn't make any noise. Anyway, my question is this, is my wiring wrong?

Would it be better if I just cut out the millenium bypass and let the one switch turn them both on?

I think it looks fine. Just treat the output lug of effect one's switch as the input lug of effect two's switch. The power should come from the tip of the Power jack, and the grounds should all connect to the same place. Should work fine, but I can't tell what effects you're running...

The first effect in the series is a volume swell and the next one is a clean booster.
