Guvnor issue

Hi, im new to the forum! its really great, ive been reading  a lot,   :icon_biggrin: ive already have build a bluesbreaker, rat, big muff, dod 250  but i have a problem with a guvnor i just built.
Im building the tonepad guvnor.
This is my second attempt the first one was working fine, until i bridged some connections while soldering that i didnt notice until i finished building the second  ;D   i used the same parts(new parts) as in the old one except the 0.068uf that i could not find so im using 0.1uf instead.  if i cant fix this maybe ill go to the older board.

The problem i have is that it lacks bass and mids, when i move the bass and mid pots it seems to dont have any effect, it does but is barely audible, i have to turn the treble pot all the way down to barely hear the changes in the bass and mid pots.

Could the pots got damage anyway? or maybe could it be a capacitor that is damaged?  which capacitor or value takes care of bass and mids in this pedal?

ive tried good opamps tl072/82  that work fine on other pedals, so the opamp is discarted to be faulty.

Does this sound familiar to you?


Thanks in advance!
