Hi Chris,

Welcome to the Phorum!

I believe the center knob is the band switch, the left one is the tone control.

Have you checked the alignment? Poor alignment could cause low volume. Also, double check your work, make sure all the capacitors you replaced are the correct value and there are no wiring errors.
