TS-808 AGAIN

Holy shite this pedal is really pissing me off.

Back story--built one, didn't work due to voltage divider not dividing voltage.  Messed with it for weeks.  Remedied the problem by rebuilding the whole thing from scratch.  Stopped working for awhile due to one of the volume lugs touching the side of the box.  Worked fine for awhile, practiced with it and recently played a gig with it.  Worked fine, sounded great!

I hook it up last night and it's not working.  I examine all connections and solder points.  Get out my DMM and test it with an audio probe.  What's wrong, you guessed it, VOLTAGE DIVIDER NOT DIVIDING VOLTAGE.  Signal dies when it hits the Op-Amp.

WTF?  Am I going to have to rebuild this damn thing again?  I'm at the point where I just want to throw it off a bridge into the river, but it sounded good and I don't have time to (re)build pedals anymore.

Anyone have these kinds of problems with the GGG TS-808?

The only way could be if your voltage divider is not dividing. It isnt grounded attach the ground straight to the ground of the input jack.
