Volume was what I was worried about. I was In between a ritual and an oath. Maybe I should just snag a hawk and call it a day

Oath = revelation super bass with all knobs dimed.
Ritual is great sounding. My Drummer loves it. The Hawk is nastier and more flexible.

Recently tried the Oath and yeah, that shit's loud!
The revelation is my jam though, sooooooooo good. The Badascan (Pharaoh/LSTR hybrid circuit) is also astoundingly awesome though not sure if it's in production. Got mine on a limited run for the Doom Roomers over at HCFX.
Oh, and the Fnord, his new octave fuzz, is incredibly cool as well. Tried the proto in a recent tourbox and waiting for my lucky #13 to roll in any day now.....

just got the #25 badascan a couple weeks ago
it freakin rules,dont know if its the last one or not
but it definatly gets me playin more, but its not gettin me dates yet
you wont find a pharoah, or B.A.T complaint anywhere
you know its gonna do what you bought it for
rain hell when you hit the switch
i wouldnt worry bout no knob from them,
im sure its right where it needs to be
if you are go ritual, either way let us know wht you think

I have the Revelation Super Bass, which is basically the Oath but with controls, two for gain (like a vintage Marshall) and a volume. Just crank the shit out of everything and that's what the Oath is. It's a fantastic sound. You have to be into that totally enveloping feel, though, as it's heavily compressed and does boost your volume as well as kick your preamp in the gonads. I've been tempted by one, but I don't think it's worth it since I already have its predecessor.

My Moog Delay got so distorted with the the Oath before, unusable. So somehow it has to be a "last in chain" pedal.
BTW, the Oath is so loud, that it pushes the amp afterwards like a motherfucker. That means, that it sounds different with each amp because the preamp gets distorted. I would say, the demos are not really showing how it will sound with the own amp unless exact the same amp is used. Nevertheless it sounds amazing with my London City.

I really like his demos, but he does waffle a little bit too much, and he can't bend in tune to save his life. He's a really good guitar player; very unique and creative, but my goodness he can't bend without going sharp almost every time.
I'm such a bastard for saying that, but it's the Internet.

I have one and I can attest to this. I honestly thought it wouldn't add anything new to the Pharaoh I already own, but as far as heavy fuzz, the Badascan—or, 'PHSTR'—walks all over it. It's like that feeling, if you remember, when you first saw the graphics for the original Splinter Cell on a really high-spec PC. It was awe-inspiring. But then after a couple of years, Half-Life 2 came out, and your mind was re-blown.

Just expect 'fuck'. That's it—fuck; expect it whatever your amp.
