Sunking... Ice-pick treble

HOwdy!
  3rd Sunking build with the etched board... populated the board at the same time as the 2nd about a year ago. That one worked well.
   First thing is to turn it on... oh, forgot the IC's... got 'em in... nothing... okay then realized that I'd mucked up C6 & C8 by a decimal point here and there. Rectified that.
  Works now... but there is no warm fuzzy like with the other builds.... I even put in a .1uf for the C14 which tamed a lot of the top... but what could be draining the low end? The others didn't lose so much of the 'girth' to the tone...

voltages seem okay:
   9.14 in from a Godlyke Power-all adapter

IC1
1. 4.59
2. 4.59
3. 3.52
4. 0
5. 4.58
6. 4.60
7. 4.62
8. 9.14

IC2
1. 4.67
2. 4.59
3. 4.56
4. -8.7
5. 4.58
6. 4.59
7. 4.51
8. 16.50

IC3
1. 9.14
2. 4.68
3. 0
4. -4.25
5. 8.70
6. 4.45
7. 5.78
8. 9.14

I've been through all of the resistors and caps and all are the right #'s... don't think anything is fried.
I switched IC 1 & 2 out with the TL072's in my awesome 1st build...
no change...
pulled the 1N34a's and stuck in some BAT41's.
I have the switchable Buffer/True Bypass mod that works great in the others.
IC1044SCPA is the charge pump like on the others...
Any ideas?
