The offboard wiring (because I did remove 3-4 solid wires replacing them with stranded on a double sided board.) was my 1st thought and though Ive reflowed all the solder 3-4 times checked continuity I believe the fact it worked perfectly before i rehoused it can only be something i screwed up rehousing it. Its just the voltage readings seemed off to me. So 'I'll keep after the wiring EXCEPT there is one more thing. I did remove switch to eliminate bad wiring there and still no sound with the effect on. ........so..............theres that.
thank you for your time and info.
oh and here is the schematic
