Volume is low - controls dont work
Hello - I just finished another 5e3 (my 1st one is doing fine) I still have some work to do on the cabinet but I wanted to see how it sounded so I fired it up and here is the problem im having.  
 
The volume is very low, even with everything turned all the way up it sounds like a car raideo. with everyting turned all the way up when I back off the volume from 12 to 10 on the channel im pluged into I have no volume at all. I switched all the tubes with ones that I know are good and ive looked over the wiring on the pots and the inputs & it all seems good.  
I need some help with this one : thanks ; JOE
