Turning knob to 10 drops volume. This seems backwards. Any ideas? Thanks.

Unless that is what Clapton want ? :lol:

Volume pot has a reverse wiring, a mistake, the wrong pot lug is at ground.

Look the wiring ;

+1

Volume control is mis-wired or defective.

+ 1 Retroverbial.

If the pot lowers the volume in a regular way from 1 to 10 it is the lug to the ground which is not the good one.
Desolder this lug and solder other lug to ground as you can see on the link.

If the volume increases from 1 to 9 (normal) and drops completely once reached 10 is the pot that would be defective or dirty.
