PT80 Delay feedback after rebuild

[subnormalwater]

Hello everyone,

This pedal is driving me crazy, I opened my perfectly working PT80 to change the old long wires and patch my bad joints in order to get it ready for a tap-tempo kit I bought a few days ago, and voilà.. the pedal doesn't work as before.

The issue is that my Level pot gets repeats inside it even with the Repeats pot at 0 and this causes an annoying feedback spaceship sound whenever I go over 12 o clock on Level pot.

I'm also really lucky on diy pedals, so I now get a ridiculous high volume P O P when I engage/disengage the pedal 

I tried swapping pots but it didn't work. Also checked the voltages and everything is fine.

What could it be? I read an identical post in this forum but the OP never replied with a solution.

---EDIT---

I just noticed that at 0 Level the pedal doesn't output anything, isn't it supposed to give just the clean signal?

I had a short here in the picture ..

I checked there just because of the odd behaviour the Level knob had on the clean signal, hope someone will find this useful

Nice work. It's always worth plugging away at these things. Sometimes they're not easy to find, but that makes it that much sweeter when you finally get it!
