Nice interview Mike!
Mark and Black Arts may offer the best customer service I've ever experienced...EVER.
And the Pharaoh bumped a long-standing fuzz off my board, which over the past few years many have tried--and failed--to do :rock:

just saw this thread. i am a HUGE fan right now. for the money i think you'd be hard pressed to find a better fuzz than the Pharaoh. i'm 100% going to check out his other one too.

Mark is a really cool dude! I'm really happy he's seen the success he's had.

Now if you can, do a Pharaoh in a small enclosure, and maybe a deluxe version with a Superfuzz(or Rat or Pharaoh)->Pharaoh.

Agree with that, it's a nice change from the whole reviewing stuff and it looks behind the courtains / at the people. I would love if you asked them for pics of themselves too. Putting just pictures of pedals in there makes it seem a little lifeless.

May I suggest Alan from Mountainking?

+1 on the small enclosure...
I think part of the beauty of the Pharaoh is the "transparency", which makes it sound so goddamn good with ANYTHING I put in line with it :yay: A Superfuzz combo would be massive.
Will be really curious to see how the LSTR compares...

I've got a great photo of Mark from when we went up to Chicago but he might murder me if I posted it. :evil: :p

and nice interview Mike. That was a good read.

Jimi didn't realise the horrible tone suck we had to listen to every time he used that wah.

My pleasure. If it will draw attention to Mark's pedals that's great.

Oh, and I was referring to another picture actually of Mark that I took.
