Noisy Cricket Troubleshooting

After a big break, I have returned to my Noisy Cricket project. I have completely soldered the entire board, and am getting perfect continuity from the input jack to the speaker terminals. I still can not get any audio through when I touch the end of the guitar jack. What am I doing wrong... lol probably nooby but oh well xD

why should they have perfect continuity?
Ground, yes. But signal path?

I followed the signal path and got continuity between all the points on the board.

Considering the fact, that the signal goes through the FET, three capacitors, a resistor and LM386 that's not expected. Are you sure you are measuring the continuity with the circuit NOT connected to the battery/DC?

It would also help if you posted some photos of your build!

oh. lol! I'll check the circuit later today, and then post some pictures. BEWARE, it is a very messy circuit board.

i hope all those components are not shorted  :loco
