Just getting started with building pedals... Decided to start with a true bypass loop pedal.

The pedal works PERFECT when I'm using my clean channel or amp distortion but, when I turn on my OCD which comes before the true bypass loop in the chain I get a VERY noticeable volume drop.

Here is a pic of the pedal (please don't laugh at my shoddy workmanship lol) I used the schmatic at beavisaudio and everything looks correct. I don't think I have any cold solder joints what the HELL am I doing wrong???

Let that be a lesson to me... Turned out to be a cold solder joint.
