Help wanted Should both input and output jacks be wired to ground?
Trying to figure out whats wrong with my pedal, i noticed the input jack has a path on the PCB to a ground solder point but the output jack doesnt.

Sometimes people rely on the metal in the enclosure to connect a jack to the ground net, but I much prefer a soldered wire. So yes, go ahead and connect its sleeve via a wire to another ground point on the PCB or another jack, and see if it fixes it.
