A brief update..
Thanks again, Travis, for your help. I had another look over the ground wiring, and there was definitely continuity (with perhaps half an ohm resistance measured) between the power socket -ve and the ground pins of the two IC's. So I swapped out the chips, and the pedal seemed to work, but was very dependent on having the board flexed in a certain way - which I expect suggests a short somewhere?
Rather than make the soldering even worse than it was (I'm getting to grips with soldering, but my de-soldering would only leave greater likelihood of bridges), I decided to build a fresh board.

So, managed to get it all back into the original enclosure, and no sound at all when engaged. A quick check over and I found a missing link. And wouldnt you know it, there was an IC socket overlaying it. So a little jigging around, and hey presto, a working Green Rhino Mk2. Phew.

Time to fire up the Red Llama too.
Cheers,
Adam
