I built the Standout a few months ago and every thing worked fine and it sounded great but at the time it didn't wasn't what we needed so it went on the shelf. Pulled it out last night and it seems to be stuck in momentary mode and the led seems to be stuck on as well, it's very dim but when you step on it it goes to full brightness like normal but I don't remember it being on all the time like it is now. I can also hear a very faint clicking sound from the box when it is plugged in like a mechanical click. When I'm hearing that click its when I was trying to get it to switch back to normal mode so it isn't plugged into an amp or anything. Any ideas on what might how to switch it back or what might need to be replaced? Thanks

This is my first time trying to layout a breadboard for testing from a schematic and some vero board layouts. I used the diy layout creator to lay out all of my components. Thought I'd post it here see if anyone had some suggestions or see's any mistakes I might have made. Here's the schematic and layout I made.
I also added a 2k trimpot in place of the 1k5 for biasing q2 which I've read is very useful. Thanks in advance everybody.

It's been a few years since I've made a pedal thought I'd start back in with something small make all my mistakes with it before I got back into the more complicated builds.

Sounds great, just going to try a few other germanium's I have around to make sure I'm getting everything out of it that I can. Made few errors at first with the wiring and putting the dc jack on the wrong side but it works and I'm pleased with it.
