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.
Did you use a log taper or linear taper pot? Linear tend to get there quicker in any build.

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.
At full CCW the tone circuit basically does next to nothing as far as rolling off high end. You could try a 47pF in place of C4. That would give you a bit of high end back.
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.
