Just finished up a wolfshirt(foxx tone machine clone) after shelving it for a year. Didn't realize I solder the jacks wrong and got frustrated and didn't look at it for awhile. Got it to work by correctly placing the wires in the correct place. Only issue now is the volume is extremely low. When I used alligator clips to troubleshoot, volume was not an issue. Now it will not seem to produce much.
Any common issue that could cause this? I have normal volume in bypass.
Help!

Re: Low volume issue
So got the multi out and seems the volume pot isn't working. Probed it and volume returned to normal level. Don't know how the pot went bad. Multimeter reading just kept changing without me turning the pot.
Currently bypassing with a resistor and it works peachy. Man the tone machine octave rocks.
