mmm, ...are you sure that the pedal has never been feeded with inverse polarity?
i could easily be wrong (and i hope so), but probably one or more than one component is broken (ICs, transistors). this can easily happen if you use a wrong polarity adaptor (or an alternate current power supply instead of continous current)
anyway i would try and substitute r52 (with a normal through-hole 1/4W res it's ok, don't do it if you're not skilled with soldering), see if it still gets hot, and if not check voltages on the PCB
EDIT: i have seen now your edited message.
so if you can measure voltages without smoke, then get voltages on the OP-Amps (2 smaller ICs with 8 pins), expecially PIN8; here you should have around 9V
EDIT2: sorry, it's late in the night and i'm tired. yes, voltages on c28 and c29 are too low. on c28 you should measure 9V
