Black Arts Toneworks

Black Arts Toneworks is a boutique pedal company founded by Mark Wentz in 2010 and based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. The company specializes in handbuilt fuzz, distortion, overdrive, and boost pedals voiced for doom, stoner, sludge, and heavy rock, with the Pharaoh fuzz as its flagship design. It operates as a deliberately small, limited-production workshop, with Wentz handling circuit design and building while his wife Tessa manages day-to-day operations.
