Sometime ago, Black Arts worked with Mike Scheidt from YOB to design a distortion pedal which addressed the shortcomings of his favorite distortion at that time, the Ross Distortion. We used his pedal as a starting point and by adding a three band active EQ between gainstages among other tweaks we achieved the desired tonality, aggression and volume boosting capabilities need to push amps and address EQ needs of changing rooms on tour. The active EQ can control low/mid/treble but being between gain stages it can boost those frequencies into more or less distortion as needed. Low gain settings were of great importance to us and we were able to dial in clarity and articulation to make it a useful toneshaper in both live and studio applications. Mike road tested the design and it was released as the Quantum Mystic OD. It was used on the 2014 YOB album ” Clearing the Path to Ascend “.

Black Arts Toneworks Raw Heart Overdrive - Joe Carpenter "In the Mix" Demo

Black Arts Toneworks Raw Heart OD - Mike Scheidt YOB Signature Pedal

Raw Heart OD

Not your dad’s overdrive…Too much gain. Too much mids and too much highs.
Add it up in excess and it screams.

The Son stays true to the patriarch of the Pharaoh line. All of what you achieve with the Gold Standard Pharaoh, you will achieve with the Son of Pharaoh,with one exception:You will save pedalboard space. The Son has a footprint of 2.75×5 inches saving space on today’s crowded pedalboards.

The Son of Pharaoh has all familiar features of the Gold Standard Pharaoh and same sonic abilities. ALL parts and components are pulled from the same bins as the Gold Standard Pharaoh and Pharaoh Supreme. Sounds the same. Feels the same under your fingers, amps react the same. Same King Pharaoh tone, smaller Son stature.

Still handmade. Still handwired. Still the Pharaoh.

Son of Pharaoh

For musicians who love their guitar and amp’s tone. The Pharaoh pedal, while its roots and DNA are classic fuzz, has a few twists. The Pharaoh has a wide range of clipping and tonal options. From a cleanish boost, to a light OD, all the way to saturated fuzz. It sounds clear and natural, strong and bold. Your guitar sound isn’t high jacked, and your amp’s tone is not destroyed. The Pharaoh utilizes a dual tone control. The tone circuit is designed to suffer little volume loss, and give a natural sound. Your guitar and amp still sound like your guitar and amp. No drastic cuts or boosts. The tone section allows your amp to do the heavy lifting.

The Pharaoh starts with a hi/lo input switch, not unlike that of your favorite tube amp. Lo for more headroom/less clipping. Hi for less headroom/more clipping. A standard fuzz knob. A full range tone control with the addition of a high end compensation knob to allow you to replenish the highs cut by the tone control when boosting lows. The diode selector switch allows for different modes of clipping. Silicon Diodes for a raspy distorted sound, Diodes out for more volume /headroom and less clipping. Asymmetrical Germanium clipping diodes give a warm, tubey old school sound.

The two switches can take the Pharaoh from a clean/ fat boost to light OD which cleans up well with your guitar’s volume knob, all the way to hairy open fuzz. The Pharaoh utilizes signal caps large enough to pass all frequencies through, uncut. Again, a natural sound. This is especially important for bass player; you’ll get huge fuzz with NO low-end loss, and without squishy flubby tones.

Pharaoh

What you have here is a throwback to the glory days of rock and roll, with a Black Arts twist.
The Black Forest takes a celebrated circuit and drags it through the dirt. More gain, more fatness. A six way selector allows you to set your gain/low end/voicing along with Fuzz, Bass, Treble and Volume.
This forest grew with the helping hand of a tone god. Treat it with care; allow future generations to behold the beauty that is the Black Forest. Behold the ugly beauty of old rock and roll. The beauty of big, fat gnarly tone.
