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.28% — 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 Ibanez OD850 Overdrive is a reissue of one of the most historically significant overdrive pedals from the late 1970s, originally produced as a Big Muff-adjacent overdrive with a unique circuit topology that produced a distinctive mid-scooped overdrive character. The OD850 was among the early Japanese professional overdrive designs and influenced subsequent Ibanez overdrive development. The reissue circuit preserves the original topology, delivering the specific vintage character of the original OD850 in a format compatible with modern signal chains and pedalboards.
