Pharoah

[angrykoko]

Here is my pharhoah build.
Controls left to right: Red knob is volume, next is tone, then gain.   Next row is clipping sw, hi-lo sw, pre-gain

Much thanks to cortexturizer for the pre-gain and tone control mod ideas on his filthy 9 build report.  The tone especially is amazing.

I love love love this pedal, it's the fuzz sound I've had in my head but could never get out.  Don't be fooled that it's only for stoner rock, give it a try with some slide guitar.
I have had a Rams Head muff for a while but, it was just not my thing so I was a bit on the fence to even build this.  I"m really glad I did. 

I actually had an idea for some simple labeling and graphic but  it looks so good the way it is I decided to leave it this way (sometimes less is more).

The enclosure is from a previous build that I didn't get along with.. check out what it used to be: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=6126.msg52888#msg52888
I'm not sure what the proper way to remove powder coat is but... a soldering torch worked quite nice
It wasn't supposed to be distressed either, the thing got rained on after I painted it black and put it in the sun to dry so the distressing is by need to smooth out the horrible result I had.. but, I liked it in the end.

Oh.. and I forgot to order knobs again so I dug up what I could find and was like "wow.. that's cool looking".

So you could say the whole look is one big accident

The board is a mudbunny populated mostly from this thread: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=2385.0 and then the ideas from cortexturizer.

Anyway, enough jibber jabber.. here's the pics

Nice! It is a great fuzz, bombastic and huge, yet still articulate.
