Haha, I get what you mean. The pharaoh is the first boutique pedal I bought and do like it, but there's always room for improvement I think. Compared to a lot of the other muff and muff variants I've built you can tell differences, like you mention in the decay.

I can check this weekend when I get back to my house and see if I can tell what markings are on the diodes. Don't forget I'm living in NYC during the week while going for my doctorate, so checking stuff will take me longer then my normal quick checks. Remember that the amount of volume drop is going to be dependent on the forward voltage drop of the diodes. The lower the voltage drop, the lower the output. So you can try Ge diodes with a higher voltage drop and you should get similar distortion with more output.
