What a deal. Fast flip, just saw that one sell a couple weeks back. Fancy mulit-color Pharaoh!


Apparently wasn't for him and almost got his money full back. I'd say not a bad deal for either buyer or seller! That's a great color combo too.

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

The green on blue color is stunning imo. That's my T shirt color too. One off. I'm so fucking special. Actually the green on my shirt is more a light lime almost a yellow. Gr8Scott graphics fucking rule bro.

Custom LSTR sounds awesome. Jason's designs are nice and simple, tend to look good in a wide array of color schemes.

I've added the Pharaoh to my bass board. Sounds great with my jazz bass.

So today got my Pharaoh and LSTR and all of my fuzzy dreams came true. First of of al :

The Pharaoh - EXCELENT tone control! Amazing fuzz from the Cream/Hendrix to Sleep and Qotsa.
I pluged my guitar in with much expectations and still I was like WOW! Just amazing work Mark.

and then I pluged in the LSTR and the day got much MUCH better. LSTR is the one fuzz pedal
I would keep forever. If you play stoner/doom/post rock LSTR is one you have to have!!!
Sounds amazing with chords and every single note is so articulated. I wanted to shange my
SD SH4 with Lace sensor dually red/silver but when I heard my tone with lstr, its just PERFECT!

again tnx Mark. You just got a lifetime user of your products.
Keep it up ;)

Thinking it couldn't get much better than a Pharaoh, I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the LSTR. I underestimated it originally but I had your same reaction when plugging it in. It packs a shitload of gain and tonal variation, just loaded with awesome fuzz tones. Best of all, like the Pharaoh, it sounds HUGE. Those two pedals compliment each other so well.

The Pharaoh sounds so good all alone but stack it with everything you have. Fuzz, dirt, OD, clean boost, whatever, it behaves better than any fuzz I've owned. Constantly maintains that thick, low end growl and boosting/stacking will bring in whole new frequencies. Punishing results to be had, stunning how good some combos sound!

agreed!!! I heard alot about pharaoh so I expected much, butwith LSTR I was like ok thats a big muffish kind a high gain machine
so I didnt expect much more from it. Boy I was wrong!

But so it doesnt All remain good I have to say I dont really love the noticable volume drop when pharaoh isnt in no diodes mode.
So in the middle its cool, in down or up position there is a VERY noticable volume drop ... so thats the only minus :)

just had to put that here :D
