Help troubleshooting a TRITON DELAY build

LloydDexter
Hey guys,
So I built a Triton Delay, based on the perf board layout on EffectsLayouts, which is derived (I believe) from one of the tagboard effects on this site.
https://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/2016/09/culturejam-triton-delay.html

Build guide with schematic:
Triton-3.pdf

Here's where I stand:
Checked and double-checked the orientation of all ICs and Electrolytics: GOOD.
Checked input power (9V) and output from voltage regulator (5V).
Checked continuity on all connections on the board: Fixed any bad connections.



I know it might look messy, but I have checked continuity of all connections and they seem good.

After several troubleshooting passes, I now (at least) get a clean tone when I connect the board to my testing rig; HOWEVER, still no effect. To be clear, I don't have the 3PDT attached yet, so when I say "clean," I mean that, when powered up and connected, this board does NOT add any delay effect at all.

I have measured my ICs as follows:
TL072
1. 4.48 2. 4.48 3. 4.48 4. 0 5. 4.48 6. 4.48 7. 4.48 8. 9.0 I am assuming that this OpAmp is the problem, as I really don't think 4.48V should be seen all over the pins, but I don't know what to do about this.

1: 5.0 2. 2.54 3. 0 4. 0 5. 2.13 6. 2.52 7. 4.6 8. 4.6 9. 0.07 10. 4.41 11. 0.64 12. 4.79 13. 3.18 14. 0.09 15. 2.52 16. 2.52

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

These look fine. The problem is likely elsewhere. If the op-amps weren't working correctly, you wouldn't get a dry signal when the pedal is engaged.
