Im gonna be picking up one of these and wanted to hear other peoples opinions. Ive been posting quite a bit about what i have and what im going for but basically, i play doom and i have a FZ-2, Supercollider, Sludgemaker, Donner Party and a Doom Bender from Bukowski for these particular tones. Which do you think would fit better with my setup?
My main concern is that the Pharoah wont have enough gain and the LSTR wont have the Pharoahs lowend

Get the Pharaoh for the toanz, you've already got the gain covered.

I would get the Pharaoh, set it diodes out, fuzz low, volume high, high output and run it into your favorite gain producing pedal. Instant massive thickness.

I need to try this with my Rat Tail going into it. Right now I have the Pharaoh set full bore (germanium), interested to see how different it would be to take this approach.

This is how I run it into other pedals. Makes good sounding pedals become crushing massive tone monsters. THIS IS FOR BEING LOUD!!!! Pharaoh will behave very differently at volume.

Oooooo into other pedals. Hmmph. I never really thought of having it anywhere but the end of my gain chain...

Give it a shot, I have not really found anything yet that it does not sound great in front of. It adds that BAT low end nicely.

Pharaoh first, then boost/od/dist. Pharaoh set full blast on germanium setting is my favorite. Only way I play it. Rat Tail or Fuck after it.

Love to try a Badascan but havent seen them in stock anywhere. The setup i play thru is played loud thru 4 cabs (2x15, 4x10 bass cab, 2x12 ported cab and soon a 6x12 but right now a detuned huge 4x10)

Pharaoh. While it's amazing on its own, it's also one of the best stackers IMO. Almost every OD/Distortion I've put in front of it has stacked amazingly well with it.
