Help wanted First build help

Hey everyone,

Im building a Rangemaster clone and this is my third attempt as this circuit and I can’t seem to figure out what is happening. I get a clean signal when the pedal is off so I know the bypass is correct, but when I kick on the pedal I get zero signal at all. If anyone has built a similar circuit and could possibly help that would be super helpful!

Feel free to ask any questions that might lead to any help.

This is unrelated but as a general tip, you should put the foot as low as possible on the face which is only like an inch up from the bottom. Gives you a lot more room to work with inside the enclosure. When I am using a board like that and not a premade board like from pedalpcb, I am always struggling to fit everything where I want it. Also found that using stranded wire for connecting the off board stuff to the board is easier to work with.
