The last cap in the circuit (between the Top and Volume pots) is a 2n2. I suggest increasing that value to taste, starting with a 4n7 to bleed more bottom end to ground.
The Deflector/Afterneath "Density" control, should add a rather significant dimensional change to the reverb. If all you're getting is noise from it, you should be able to dbl-check your component values, hookup and soldering to correct that.

When the DIY build gets "marketed" it...
