Tunewave Sandstorm Fuzz: The Desert King of Tone
Unleash the Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh Voicing with Unique Handmade Artistry!
Introducing the Tunewave Sandstorm fuzz pedal, a meticulously handcrafted masterpiece designed to harness the revered, thick, and saturated tone inspired by the legendary Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh pedal. The Sandstorm is engineered to deliver dynamic response and powerful, face-melting fuzz, ranging from subtle grit to full-on, aggressive distortion.
The Sandstorm is more than just a sonic engine; it is a true piece of art. Housed in a custom-made enclosure, each pedal features unique, handmade artwork that adds a distinct personality and artistic flair to your pedalboard. This unique enclosure design reflects the individuality of the handcrafted process, ensuring your Sandstorm is a true one-of-a-kind piece.
Comprehensive Controls for Dynamic Fuzz Sculpting
The Sandstorm Fuzz is equipped with five distinct knobs and one powerful 6-position rotary switch to define the texture, saturation, and character of your sound:
• Fuzz Control Knob: This knob sets the fuzz distortion level. It allows for dialing in a wide array of sounds, ranging from a cleanish boost, to a light overdrive, all the way to saturated fuzz.
• Volume Control Knob: This control sets the overall output level of the effect.
• Tone Control Knob: This knob adjusts the tonality of the fuzz. It is specifically designed to suffer little volume loss and give a natural sound.
• High Control Knob: This control is designed to replenish highs that may be cut by the Tone control when boosting low.
• Pre Control Knob: This knob replaces the Hi/Lo switch found on the standard Pharaoh pedal. It adjusts the front-end saturation between tones with more headroom/less clipping and tones with less headroom/more clipping.
Clipping Flexibility: The 6-Position Clip Rotary Knob
The Clip 6-position rotary knob is the heart of the Sandstorm's tonal flexibility, allowing you to select from six different clipping stages.
The flexibility offered by these clipping modes allows the Sandstorm to cover a vast sonic territory:
• Tonal Set: The six positions, selected from left to right, include: Germanium, Asymmetrical Germanium (standard Pharaoh), Silicon (standard Pharaoh), Mosfet, LED, and Bypass (standard Pharaoh).
• Character Definition: By selecting between these different diode materials (Germanium, Silicon, Mosfet, LED) and the Bypass option, the user can dramatically alter the compression, saturation, and overall feel of the fuzz.
• The Asymmetrical Germanium, Silicon, and Bypass modes replicate the foundational voices of the standard Pharaoh, providing familiar, revered tones.
• The inclusion of options like Mosfet and LED introduces additional flavors of clipping, broadening the range of available saturated tones beyond the classic Pharaoh sound.
• The Bypass setting offers a unique, high-headroom fuzz sound by taking the clipping diodes out of the circuit

The Tenets of Pedal Preservation
- Unplug the Beast: Before diving into the cleaning ritual, always disconnect your pedal from the power source. This simple act prevents electrical mishaps and ensures your safety.
- A Gentle Wipe: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently caress the pedal's exterior. Remove dust, grime, and the residue of countless gigs.
- The Forbidden Liquid: Water, the nemesis of electronics, must be banished from your cleaning routine. Avoid liquid cleaners and moisture at all costs.
- The Sacred Knob: When cleaning knobs, rotate them gently, ensuring no debris enters the delicate inner workings.
- The Jack's Domain: Utilize a specialized contact cleaner to maintain the integrity of your input and output jacks. A gentle spray and a few rotations will do the trick.
- The Power Supply's Purpose: A well-regulated power supply is the lifeblood of your pedalboard. Keep it clean and free from dust, ensuring optimal performance.
- The Periodic Purge: Regularly inspect your pedalboard for loose cables, faulty connections, and signs of wear. A well-maintained board is a happy board.
- The Holy Grail of Storage: When not in use, store your pedals in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.
- The Forbidden Modding: Unless you're a seasoned electronics wizard, resist the urge to tinker with your pedals' internal circuitry. Leave it to the experts.
- The Ritual of Respect: Treat your pedals with reverence. They are the tools of your musical expression, deserving of care and attention.
By adhering to these sacred tenets, you'll ensure that your pedals continue to deliver sonic bliss for years to come.
