SHO Vero layout debugging

Greetings.  Longtime lurker, first time builder (other than BYOC kits).  I've been trying to rectify my build of a SHO based on the Vero schem found here.  Everything appears to be hooked up correctly but I'm not sure that I have the grounds correct.  The bypassed signal is great but the effect itself produces no sound - LED comes on.  I've checked continuity as best I know how and made sure all of the components were measuring up properly.  I also tried to double check solders and reflowed where I thought questionable.  Here is a basterdized drawing of exactly how I hooked it up based on the common vero layout and the the wiring diagram I was able to find here as well, followed by some pics of the build itself:  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

edit:  I also tried it outside of the enclosure to make sure I wasn't shorting out on it.  No dice...

i dont know what layout your using...

try this out on the switch wiring...this definately works....

there are several different ways of wiring these switches..i stick with this one always...

i havent seen it wired like that ...check your ground going to the board... and your in and outs...in/out....


of course now you wish you'd used different colour leads too lol....it helps when looking at it... :icon_lol:

also check your vero cuts too...with a magnifier.even the slightest bit of copper uncut or a burr going in the groove
can short it...ok...good luck.

I checked out the circuit on the breadboard and verified the layout.  Your soldering on the board looks fine to me.  And I don't see a problem with the grounding.

However, I believe that you have wired up the Bypass Switch incorrectly.  Double check your switch wiring with the diagram that you posted.  I see a few discrepancies there...
