The Pharaoh stacks somethin' fierce too. I run an Algal Bloom into mine and it's one of the heaviest tones I've ever heard. The Pharaoh just maintains it's thick low end, so running an edgier, nastier fuzz into it produces some great results. I love the Fuzz War too.

Well I will definitely be running my Phantom Ring into it too :evil:

Last night I was running a Plimsoul in front of mine and it was mean as hell. Then I got out my Trifecta and did the same thing and made noises from hell for a while.

Does running a compressor in front of any of these beef up the tone? I ask because most of the fuzzes are already compressing a signal a lot in the way it is distorting / amplifying the signal. I imagine in some cases there's a use for a compressor in front of a fuzz..

Confused. Does the standard pharaoh have two switches or are one of the two the germanium option?

The standard has 2 toggles (hi/low input and diodes in/out). The germanium option adds a 3rd position to the diode toggle.

Just so it's clear, You don't lose any of the standards tone/options, it only adds an extra setting? For an extra $10 it sounds like something I should add, yeah?

Correct. Def worth the the extra $10! The germ setting can really walk the line between huge sounding distortion/fuzz. Add that to the standard silicon or No Diode settings and you just get more versatility.

Sweet dude! I made that video. I twisted the knobs while my friend played the RATM riff.

No "plunge" involved, the Pharaoh doesn't disappoint. You'll be happy you ordered it!

Nice! It definitely convinced me that the Pharaoh could be up my alley - sounds like it has nice low-end retention. I am usually scared off when a fuzz is described as "muff-based" too, but there seems to be quite a bit more to it than that.
