If 'standard' rules apply, a tone pot will have a linear taper. Using this as a volume pot WILL work, but you'll get better results using a Logarithmic taper pot as a volume control, because our ears respond logarithmically to increases in volume.
This doesn't explain away your problem, it's just a ''what if'' post.
Post pics (good, close up in focus ones) of all your solder joints and wiring ...
What are the values of the pots and what's the circuit? Are you using a piezo or a magnetic pickup?

wired tone & vol pot's on my git, but they are acting more like on/off switches, not gradually increasing/decreasing the vol/tone, checked the wiring that's ok, any idea what's wrong, ??
