As I say at the end of this vid, Billy Corgan may have completely lost it these days, but that doesn’t fully detract from the fact that the early 90′s Smashing Pumpkins stuff was pretty damn rockin. The LSTR can give you some great Corganesque Op Amp Big Muff tones and much much more. The LSTR is the beefier brother to the Blackarts Pharaoh fuzz, which I happen to love very deeply. The LSTR is perfect for those looking for some great vintage Big Muff tones without having to pay an arm and a leg for them or for those that are looking for a fuzz that is very shapeable. Having the Tone and Scoop knobs are an awesome addition to this. Sometimes, builders can go a little overboard by putting a ton of controls on a fuzz to help you shape it…. with the LSTR, it has just the right amount of controls that really allow you to dial it in. Mark over at Blackarts builds some great pedals…. and sells them at even better prices. Can’t wait to grab me one of his new Black Forest OD pedals

From the Blackarts website:

The Pharaoh’s unruly brother, LSTR provides the opposite of the Pharaoh. The LSTR is an all out rock machine tuned and blended to deliver the signature Black Arts low end along with more fuzz than mamma allows , unique tone controls and LSTR’s understated, striking beauty. LSTR is from the same BMP family, but unlike the Pharaoh, which is dialed back a little, LSTR is the action! LSTR is GO! LSTR can deliver fuzz bordering on distortion, tones go from the traditional muff scooped sound to the Pharaoh-ish wide open tones. Point your tone knobs toward each other for the traditional BMP scoop, and away from each other to get into the more wide open Pharaoh tones.
