My build report for the PCB Guitar Mania Ra's Pharoah. Based on the Black Arts Toneworks Pharoah Fuzz. A cool doom-y tricked out Muff. I had one of these awhile ago so I wanted to build one for my collection. I've had this board sitting around for awhile so finally good to get it done. Spray painted with metallic gold. I like how it came out.
This one came out fine. This is my 2nd PCB Guitar Mania in row that had no issues. I did build 2 before this that had problems. I think one was mostly my fault and the other one is getting like whistling from the transformer. I know they get a bad rap and it's mostly warranted. The docs aren't great but they are sufficient for more experienced builders. I personally had more Effects Layouts builds that failed than PCB GM. And the Effects Layouts flat out no sound on bypass. So I'm more frustrated with them. That's just my 2 cents of experience.
Anyway Im happy with this thing. Kind of a classic circuit. Great options and all with rip your face off.
