Start with your soldering quality. Signal cutting in and out is almost always a bad connection somewhere. The wire connections are most prone to problems, then the component connections on the PCB. A good first step is to go through the entire build and re-flow EVERY solder joint. Should only take maybe 20 minutes and often solves problems like the one you describe. If that doesn't do the trick, we'll need to see photos: viewtopic.php?f=51&t=6108
