I'd double-check the input jack, too....

update. i have sound in bypass mode now after swapping output jack wire. input was fine tho. led comes on, but no sound when pedal is on, well a very very faint sound when vol is at about noon. looks like i need some more troubleshooting help guys. thanks.

I don't see anything out of place on the board, so that's good. Your soldering looks pretty good, but then again it only takes a single wonky joint to screw the pooch. I would suggest THIS APPROACH next--only takes a few minutes and you'd be amazed how often it clears up this kind of problem.

One other thing I'll mention--I don't think that a misadjusted trimpot is capable of completely shutting off the output of this circuit, but you might want to just try dialing it through it's entire sweep range to insure that it's not part of the issue here.
