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.44% — somewhat different

The Black Arts Toneworks LSTR is a high-gain fuzz designed to deliver the signature Black Arts Toneworks extended low end along with more overall fuzz gain than the Pharaoh, tuned for aggressive rhythm and lead fuzz in stoner rock, doom, and sludge metal. The tone control system produces a characteristically scooped, wide-sounding voicing that distinguishes it from standard Big Muff-style tone stacks. An all-out rock machine built for heavy music.
The DOD Chthonic is an analogue fuzz built on a classic single-knob 1970s fuzz circuit, expanded with a separate Fuzz gain control, a Lustre tone control and a global Output level. Its voice is fat, corpulent and sludgy -- an earthy, dark fuzz with a heavy low end rather than a bright, spitting one -- and the Lustre control rolls off high frequencies after the main distortion stages, keeping pick attack intact across its whole range instead of smothering it. It cleans up unusually well from the guitar's volume knob: back to 7 or 8 gives a workable overdrive, and around 5 it returns near-sparkling clean tones. It shares its control layout with the DOD Carcosa but is voiced considerably darker and thicker, suiting doom, stoner and sludge players.
