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.30% — 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 Wren and Cuff Super Russian is a boutique recreation of the Sovtek-era Russian Big Muff Pi, capturing its deeper, darker, more compressed low-end character compared to American-made Big Muffs. Its smoother, less pronounced midrange and heavier bass weight give it a thick, bass-forward fuzz wall rather than a cutting, articulate voice, making it a favorite in doom, stoner rock, and shoegaze where a massive, low-end-heavy fuzz texture is the goal. Wren and Cuff's boutique build adds premium components and hand-matched circuitry to the classic Russian Muff formula. It suits players wanting the specific dark, heavy Russian Big Muff character with boutique build quality.
