okay, I found a 'corrected schematic here:
http://www.freestompboxes.org/download/file.php?id=3171&mode=viewso, I grounded the 2k2/680R reistors & 6n8 cap junction and it works just like the video now.
so here's my verified vero:
as on the original pedal, the B1M gain/density control is basically useless, so i'm going to mod mine in that area. it appears that the designer tried to simulate a volume control on the guitar but it really doesn't work that way the way that the circuit is wired.
