Makes you wonder how close the rest is. Probably true bypass rather than buffered switching, but I might consider a few of the OD tweaks if DIY-ing.
Isn't the Pharaoh basically a muff with a baxandall tone stack too?
I wonder how close these two are in sound and structure?
The Romans said there's nothing new under the sun, and that was probably an Egyptian thing that came via the Greeks.
Something I've learned reading up on the DIY boards is that a lot of pedals have nearly identical gain/distortion/clipping elements and only vary in their eq circuits. Really tricky to know without opening them up, and the similarity is often masked when there are three-band eq's with two bands fixed and only one on the tone control. Metal Zone is Grunge is Fabtone is Fab Metal is a ton of other things, just for one example of eq variation. Eq pedals can be self-help for those who don't want to tweak the circuits.
