Black Arts Toneworks Sarcophagus

Black Arts Toneworks · pedal

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.
