I just built my first pedal. Chose the BYOC OD 2 standard configuration. After building and hooking it up the overdrive side works fine however the boost does not function. Boost makes some sound when distortion is on as well but is very low output. I have scoured the forum and done what testing I can but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

You've switched the 100K (brown-black-black-ORANGE-brown) and 100ohm (brown-black-black-BLACK-brown) resistors at R13 and R20. See labeled PCB diagram below for these resistor locations. Correct this error and not only should the boost side work, but you should also get more output from the overdrive stage:

Thanks man, that worked. Wish I could buy you a beer cause this thing drove me crazy. Should have thought to check that.
