SOLVED Gator/Chuck's Hellbender- PCB issue (mids cut volume)

@Chuck D. Bones and @The Gator made a great option for the Hellbender, but I've had some trouble with my PCB. The pedal will work with my PCB, and tonally, it sounds like the Hellbender demos. However, when I reduce my mids, the volume will significantly drop. I've double checked the parts and I didn't see any wrong values. I did swap out the transistors and BS170 to make sure a device wasn't faulty, but I didn't have any significant improvement. I don't think there is any cold solder joints, but more eyes on the board would help. Below is my schematic and a link to the original schematic on Gator's post. I appreciate the help!
