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.40% — somewhat different

The Black Arts Toneworks Sarcophagus combines the Pharaoh and LSTR fuzz circuits in a single enclosure with dedicated controls for each circuit. Both circuits operate independently or simultaneously, allowing players to blend the middy, singing Pharaoh character with the scooped, bass-heavy LSTR character for a custom high-gain fuzz voicing. Suited for players who rely on both the Pharaoh and LSTR individually and want a unified platform covering both characters with one pedal. Made by Black Arts Toneworks.
The EarthQuaker Devices Chelsea V1 Low End Fuzz Driver is the first version of the Akron, Ohio boutique builder's faithful Big Muff recreation based on the specific circuit owned by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. The circuit delivers warm Big Muff character with a low-end-friendly voicing particularly effective on bass guitar, covering dirty overdrive through thick distortion to full fuzz via the Sustain control. Produced for players who want the Chelsea circuit in its original V1 form. Suits bass, guitar, and studio players seeking the LCD Soundsystem fuzz character.
