I own the Pharaoh but never heard the Scarab DLX live.
So what say you?

If you still have the LSTR I'd try it with the setting you listed above going into your Pharoah.
Start with the Pharoah's fuzz all the way down and the volume as needed with the left tone knob between 12 and 3 and the right tone knob between 9 and 12 and go from there.
Basic Audio makes some awesome stuff but if you're going for Doom/Stoner the Pharoah/LSTR should cover it.

man i wouldnt count out the Scarab DLX. We used it to record a song for an EP we have coming out. That thing with the bass knob cranked sounded fucking massive! We used it on almost all of my guitar players expect on his outro solo which he used an actual Vox Tonebender. We are more of a heavy rock/stoner type band tho,we dont do doom.

LSTR into Pharaoh is a wicked combo, its what im using live right now and i couldnt be happier. The pharaoh is great as a main fuzz and the lstr is the booster from hell, wasnt as impressed trying to do pharaoh into lstr i think its the pharaohs input buffering that helps it play well with others before it.
