with the cap in the wrong way, could anything else have been damaged and need replacing?
Very doubtful. You stated that the overdrive side of the pedal works fine, plus that cap is on the -9V output of the charge pump, which would only affect modules that use that voltage rail (Treble Boost & 27V Boost).
From your description, I'm not sure that there's anything wrong. For the boost, if you're using one of the clean boosts and have the effect order toggle set to "last", the main effect is more volume, even with the OD side engaged. Try switching it to "first" and run the OD side at a mid-range drive setting--kicking in the boost should then give noticeably more overdrive to the output because of the higher gain signal feeding it.
As far as the octave goes, that effect changes markedly depending on the character of the guitar signal going into it. Try playing from your neck pickup on the G-B-E strings around the 12th fret and see if the effect is stronger--it should be.
P.S. The pedal is called the Crown
Jewel. It's best to stay away from the Crown Royal while building one....
