Gerkin fuzz is incredible bassy

Everything is kind of working and tests correctly.

However it sounds like insanely bass heavy tone. I can't get a bright sound at all out of this. I saw a previous post about a bad filter pot. I checked that and it tests as should. I did use an a A500k instead of the A470k on the board but don't think thst should make any difference. It's not even making a Fuzz it's almost acting like a low pass filter and that is it. Also seems to have a volume drop. I removed the transistors and socketed them with 5088 still the same issues. Very confused on this one. First drive pedal I ever had issues with and I have built about 30.

Any advice?
