Octarock lower octave volume

[spi]

I just put together an Octarock. When I turn up the lower octave all the way, it's like 33% of the clean volume. I can barely hear it.

Also, the higher octave is significantly louder than the clean volume, and the upper octave is a bit distorted like a fuzz, whereas I've heard others claim it has a clean octave.

Is this an issue with my build or is it supposed to be this way? From other build reports I haven't seen such complaints.

I also didn't notice when assembling until the end that I can't box it yet: that 470uF capacitor
