Pharaoh

The Pharaoh by Black Arts Toneworks is a versatile fuzz pedal designed for guitarists seeking a wide range of tonal options. It features a dual tone control circuit that minimizes volume loss and preserves the natural sound of the guitar and amp. The pedal includes a hi/lo input switch for adjusting headroom and clipping, a standard fuzz knob, and a full-range tone control with a high-end compensation knob to replenish lost highs when boosting lows.

Additionally, the Pharaoh offers a diode selector switch for different modes of clipping, including silicon diodes for a raspy distorted sound, diodes out for increased volume and headroom, and asymmetrical germanium clipping diodes for a warm, vintage tube-like tone. The pedal can transition from a clean boost to light overdrive and open fuzz, and it is designed with signal caps large enough to pass all frequencies through without cutting, ensuring a natural sound.

The Pharaoh operates on a standard 9VDC power supply and does not have a battery connection. This pedal is priced at $189 and is suitable for musicians who value their guitar and amp's original tone.
