Short from battery + to ground.

Hi,

I have just finished assembling a rebote 2.5 circuit board. Right now, it only works in bypass mode. I have started the debugging process, but am very new to it. So far I have checked for solder bridges and double checked my wiring.

I am using the diode test from a cheapo radio shack multimeter to check for continuity. I started using a continuity check to double check some of my wiring (input jack-> PCB input, output jack -> PCB out). Seems okay there.

What I did notice is that I'm getting continuity from +9v to ground. Measuring ohms, it looks like it's about 4-5 ohms. My thought is that it looks like somewhere in the circuit, there's a short to ground. Is this correct?
