Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.46% — somewhat different

The Black Arts Toneworks Crown of Horns is a high-gain fuzz based on an OpAmp Big Muff circuit with a custom hybrid tone section that sits tonally between the Pharaoh mid-forward voicing and the LSTR scooped character. A Horns switch bypasses the tone stack entirely, producing a flat, unfiltered wall of fuzz and volume that is highly interactive with amp settings. Designed for heavy psych, doom, and stoner rock where high-gain fuzz with flexible tonal shaping is the goal. Made by Black Arts Toneworks.
The JHS Muffuletta is a six-in-one Big Muff style fuzz that houses faithful recreations of five classic Muff circuits plus an original JHS voicing, selectable with a rotary switch and sharing Volume, Tone, and Sustain controls. Its modes cover the 1973 Ram's Head, dark with less gain and beloved of David Gilmour and J Mascis, the aggressive Triangle with a rougher edge and harsher attack, the classic Pi, the brighter, more midrange-forward Civil War with less gain, the Russian with less clarity and low end for a garage sound, and the JHS Original, a more powerful, less compressed take with a haunting midrange. This makes it a definitive Big Muff reference, letting players compare and use the major Muff variants from one box. It suits psychedelic, stoner, doom, shoegaze, grunge, and lead-focused players wanting thick, creamy, sustaining fuzz with the flavor of multiple eras.
