Pharaoh

Designed for guitarists who cherish the tone of their instrument and amplifier, the Pharaoh pedal offers a unique twist on classic fuzz. With an extensive array of clipping and tonal options, it can deliver anything from a subtle boost to mild overdrive, all the way to rich, saturated fuzz. The sound remains clear and natural, ensuring that your guitar tone isn’t compromised and your amp’s character stays intact. The Pharaoh features a dual tone control system that minimizes volume loss while maintaining a natural quality, allowing your guitar and amp to retain their unique voices without drastic alterations. Starting with a hi/lo input switch reminiscent of your favorite tube amp, the lo setting provides more headroom and less clipping, while the hi option offers reduced headroom with increased clipping. It includes a standard fuzz knob, as well as a comprehensive tone control that features a high-end compensation knob to restore any treble lost when boosting the lows. The diode selector switch opens up various clipping modes: silicon diodes create a raspy distortion, while bypassing the diodes yields increased volume and headroom with less clipping, and asymmetrical Germanium diodes produce a warm, vintage sound. With two switches, the Pharaoh transitions smoothly from a clean, robust boost to a light overdrive that cleans up nicely with your guitar's volume knob, and can even reach a gritty, open fuzz. It utilizes signal capacitors that allow for the passage of all frequencies without cutting, ensuring a natural tone. This feature is especially beneficial for bass players, offering powerful fuzz without sacrificing low-end clarity or introducing muddy tones.
