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.

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 Way Huge Doom Hammer Fuzz, model WM45, is a mini-format fuzz pedal from Way Huge by Jim Dunlop, based on Jeorge Tripps modification of a 1978 op-amp Big Muff circuit originally modified for the band Oranger. The Doom Hammer design is characterized by taut low-end control and more mid-presence compared to standard op-amp Big Muff designs, producing a dense, buzzy fuzz with a nasty, brash quality suited to doom metal, punk, and heavy rock applications. Premier Guitar reviewed the pedal as punky and brash with a pronounced midrange one associates with op-amp Big Muffs.
