boost switch wiring 7th heaven

angeltone
This is how I have my boost switch wired on the Gooseoniqueworx 7th heaven.  It doesn't seem to be working correctly.  The LED lights up when pushed and turns off as it should.  But the sound seems to be broken and chopped.  Wanted to see if this was correctly wired  or if I have my lug numbering wrong or maybe need to do something with the open lugs.  Thank you.

Nope, your wiring is correct.
There is something wrong with your connections/board. Double check for links and solid connections!
If the problem persists post some pics of your board and someone will come to the rescue!

Thank you.  I started just going through everything and I found that Q4 was way out of bias.  I know I biased it before, but who knows.  Anyway it was only at .34volts instead of somewhere closer to 4.5 volts.  Anyway, I fixed that and a ground loop (doh) and pedal is working awesome.  

One question on your pot wiring...the schematic seems to have Treble 2 connected to Presence 3 & 2 and to Vol 3.  And then Presence 1 to Mid 1 goes to ground through the unlabeled capacitor (3n3 in the layout).  This is how I connected mine and seems to be working well.  

But Iviark's layout has Treble 2 to Pres 1 and Vol 3.  Then Pres 2 and Pres 3 to board (which goes to ground through the 3n3 cap) and Mid 1 going straight to ground.

Do you think these different pot wirings would cause differences?  What way do you see it as you look at the schematic?  (I posted the schematic a few posts back).

Thanks again.
PS mine really does sound pretty awesome!
