Sorry, I should have been more clear.
Since you have power getting to the pcb, voltages look good on the charge pump, and the pedal used to work, the issue is likely just a bad solder joint somewhere. Since you have bypass signal, we know the connection to the jacks are okay. But since you have zero signal in effect mode, the issue is likely that you are not getting signal to the pcb or from the pcb, which narrows things down quite a bit.
Have you tried plugging in the aux jack? The aux jack takes a signal from the first buffer. No signal there would indicate that signal is either not getting to the pcb, or that there is a bad solder joint or component in the input section of the circuit. If the aux jack works in bypass and effect mode, you can ignore the part below.
Here are the components associated with the aux jack: The bypass footswitch lugs 1 and 2 (those 2 lugs should have continuity is effect mode when the LED is on), R1-R4, R37, R39, R101, C1-C4, C13, IC1, and bypass footswitch lugs 4 & 5 (those 2 lugs should also have continuity is effect mode when the LED is on).
Check out all those components, test continuity on the switch, resolder those connections, etc.
If the aux jack works in both modes, but you don't get sound from the normal output jack in effect mode, you likely have an issue right at the circuit output. Check that bypass footswitch lugs 8 & 9 have continuity in effect mode and reflow the solder joints on the footswitch wiring. The output signal also passes through the bass only footswitch (lugs 7, 8, & 9) so resolder those joints/check those connections too.

If I remove the wire to the switch with the output signal from the board and connect it directly to the output going into an amplifier I get no signal, I tested it several different ways and there doesn't appear to be affected signal coming off of the circuitboard
Which footswitch lug are you referring to specifically here?
