Short break in school so I managed to get a couple of builds done. This one's a Pharaoh 'Supreme' I called Ra, aka... Hawk Cawk. This is Ivlark's strip board layout and I added a rotary, daughter clipping board and a 500k pot for the variable input impedance.

This one's a gift for a friend. It's a circuit I've been messing with that has basically turned into two silicon fuzz faces running back to back with a filter in between and lots of negative feedback. The greenish knobs came off an old 60's tube radio and where the original idea for the pedal but I couldn't get them to work out so I switched to the stove top types I got off ebay from some old equipment.

Love that Pharaoh!
I like the use of the clear knobs with the Pharaoh and the graphics. Extra props for neat and tidy stripboard work too!
Both are great, but I especially love the Ra.
Yes! The clear knobs really allow the artwork to stand out. I think colored ones would of distracted from it. Excellent work!
Both look amazing. Love the graphics of the Ra and yes, those knobs do fit it very nicely. I also like the angled enclosure on the second one, makes it very distinct. Too bad the green knobs didn't work out
Both are really nice, came out great. I like the old radio knobs also.

Awesome stuff indeed, great looks, super execution, bet they sound killa too! Cool.... 8)
Great job on both.
Thanks guys! I just gave the steel box one to my friend and he loved the box though he hasn't played through it yet. He will probably use it for bass mostly so I'll be curious to see what he thinks. Glad you guys like the clear knobs, I wasn't sold on them but they were all that kinda worked that I had on hand. Stripper knobs ;D
nice builds! that pharoah is class 8)
Nice pair. Really dig the Pharaoh.
The Pharaoh is amazing!
how did you do the decal?
Thanks guys!

Clear waterslide decal with envirotex type lacquer on top. I'm using Inkscape for the graphics. I just switched to it but I'm sure once your used to it, it should handle anything you need for pedals. Light background colors work best for the clear decals. Juan Solo has an excellent tutorial on his site. Just look him up here on MB and follow the link to his site.
Nice builds you got there! Looking forward to see next from you..
WHat do you think about all of the clipping options? Are they all useful flavors? If you did it again, would you include all of them?
The artwork on the Pharaoh is awesome!
Thanks guys!

I think they are all distinct sounding with the least amount of difference being between the ge symmetrical and ge asymmetrical. I would include all of them if I did it again though. It's nice to have those different options with a muff. My favorite, as it is in most circuits for me, is the led clipping.
The input impedance control is nice for bringing in or rolling off some high end as well.
I was searching for info on pharaoh supreme and I stumbled in this topic.
That Ra is so cooool!!! Makes me droll man! Congrats!!!
whjat kind of mosfet did you use? 2N7000?
