Having some issues with my pedal. The right led will light up very little and become brighter when I turn down the volume pot on my guitar. The other doesn't light at all. I have a digital multimeter and if you could point me to where this issue could be on the board (what to test) because im new to building pedals. Thanks

Edit: I've tested the + and - at the top of the board and it reads around 9V from the battery.

You've wired your footswitches incorrectly. The lugs should be oriented horizontally, not vertically. Refer to the diagram on pages 28 & 29 of the instructions. The pedal won't function correctly until this is corrected.

I made this exact same mistake on my first build. If you haven't already tried to fix it, be super gentle with your iron or you'll be buying a new pair of foot switches.
