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.47% — 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 Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff reissues the original early-1970s V1 Muff, named for its triangular knob layout, delivering the thick, creamy fuzz that defined late-1960s and early-1970s rock with massive sustain and rich harmonics. Compared to other Muffs it is toppier, often raspier and more slicing, with a very scooped midrange and typically more sustain and brightness, which helps it cut through a band mix and stay articulate for leads while giving a nice crunch to power chords and palm muting. It nails the creamy, violin-like sustain and stringed-instrument bloom associated with soloists like David Gilmour and Carlos Santana. A thick, smooth fuzz-distortion hybrid that stays musical even at extreme gain, with Volume, Tone, and Sustain controls, it suits psychedelic, classic rock, and lead playing.
