It's either in the wiring ( I am using a 3pdt ) or I put the transistors in backwards. I used the 2n3565 transistors but they were round and i didn't know which way to put them in. I didn't use sockets either (lesson learned) so I dont want to change them around unless I can tell for sure they are backwards. The datasheet I found on the net doesn't show the round version of the fairchild 2n3565 one so that didn't help. Any advice on how to tell which is which? Also, I wired the switch as follows:

row 1 : lug 1 and 2 connected, lug 3 to row3 lug2
row 2 : lug 1 ground, 2 volume pot, 3 output
row 3 : lug 1 open, 2 input, 3 blue wire to board

any help would be greatly appreciated.....thanks!

here is the build layout!
....the staircase had one too many steps

Look at the bottom of the transistor (legs up), the orientation is like this:
