Maxon OD808 Reissue: Low Output Issue

Hi all.

Having an output issue with my OD808 Reissue build. Very low volume when effect is engaged, full signal while bypassed. LED lights up. IC gets hot to the touch.

This was my first build and I can’t seem to get it working, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm sorry, I haven't had a lot of time to look at it. But could you check the link next to your ceramic capacitor? It looks as if it's one row too high

-edit-

Judging the bottom that link is correct, sorry. Is the link under the IC correct? I know it sounds obvious, but could you knife all the tracks again to make sure and check if all the cuts are fully cut? The orientation seems fine to me
