The most common cause of your symptoms is faulty solder joints. From looking at your photos, I would say this is likely your problem. I see many joints where the solder has not flowed through from the underside to the top side. I also see some solder joints that look misshapen or blobby.

The solution is to reflow all your solder joints. This post has details about how to do that.

For examples of what you're going for, take a look at Stephen's Tips For A Successful Build. It's an old thread with some info that won't apply, but it should still be helpful.

We'll get you working!

Thanks for the reply and the links, I'll re-flow the joints and let you know how it turn out.

I reflowed the solder joints and filled in some that I thought could use more but unfortunately it is still not working, here is the pics after the reflow. Could it be the solder I am using?

It looks like you have the center post and right post connected accidentally with at least one strand of wire on the B100k pot. This may cause an issue with grounding

I see ends of wire strands protruding from the solder joint in multiple locations. These should all be trimmed off as they can cause power or signal shorts, depending upon what they touch.
