Changed out C4 for another ceramic 100pf cap.  ....Huge difference!!!..... much better response above and below the desired cutoff frequency.   I  will assume I got a bad original cap or one that had an extremely high (+) tolerance.

All my pots are 100kA, I believe...just like OEM Rat.  My problem is that I would like a bit more treble than what I get at full CCW on the pot. 

My cut pot nearly entirely CCW, is almost perfect.  When turning CW, It gets muddy way too soon compared to a stock Rat.  I have checked cap values which seem ok, no solder bridges could be found and I typically double check my resistor values before I populate the board.  is there a critical component which the lack of tight tolerance could critically affect the lack of treble getting through?  I'm using metal film resistors.

Have any other values like a 2k or 5k?

100k is the lowest reverse audio...5k, the lowest audio for this type pot

Upon building the Woodstork, a 9mm, right angle PC mount pot with plastic shaft seems to be unobtainable.  The regular 1ck shaft pot is too thick  for a flush mount.  I would use a 1k audio taper and wire it backwards, to get fuzz on the ccw end of the rotation but smallbear doesn't have these (1ka)..  Aside from putting this in a larger inclosure and using non pcb mounted pots, what other options do I have?
