I was able to have my pedal working without any problems earlier today. Sounded great!
I then switched the red boost LED for a green LED and wanted to try another IC.
The LEDs came on, but no sound in bypass, boost or OD. Hmm.
I then replaced to the original IC (JRC) and still no change.
I've gone over all solder joints, checked components, did all my continuity tests, etc. Nothing.,
I have done the MOSFET build and the IC that came with the kit did not work initially (the boost was working, but no OD). When I swapped in the JRC, the pedal worked just fine.
Any advice?
I'll post pics shortly.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like the solder tab for the tip of the output jack may be shorting against the screw boss at the upper right corner of the enclosure. Try rotating that jack about 45 degrees counterclockwise.

I'd suggest re-soldering all your solder joints again. It looks like you were a little stingy with the solder on many of them.

Hey fellas,

Thanks for the advice.
I looks like it was simply the solder tab on the OP jack that was shorting. Easy fix, sounds great.
