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

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

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.

and nice interview Mike. That was a good read.

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.
