Black Arts Toneworks Quantum Mystic
The Black Arts Toneworks Quantum Mystic is drawing cues from the old Ross Grey Distortion but is highly tweaked.
Boiled down by a wizard, tweaked, manipulated, upgraded, and using both mine and Mike’s ear, we sculpted the form you now hear and feel.
The Quantum Mystic is Black Arts Toneworks’ first “signature” pedal.
BAT is working closely with Mike Scheidt from the Portland Oregon band, Yob.
Mike has a great tone and groundbreaking music in the underground metal community.
Adapting his favorite pedal from the seminal early YOB records into an updated and upgraded circuit, Black Arts Toneworks pulled together something pretty special and we think you all will like this one.
Controls

- Bass
- Mid
- Treble
- Gain
Quantum Mystic Overdrive is an opamp-based distortion/OD featuring:
- 3 band active EQ
- Germanium clipping
- Captivating presentation.
What is the Quantum Mystic like?
Use the active EQ to cut frequencies to represent the old school sounds, or use the EQ to boost the final gain stage to go into the heavily saturated and distorted tones of the future.
Dial back the distortion, boost the volume, and use the active EQ to find sparkling clean boost tones. Dime it all and get a ball of molten lead that propels the Universe Throb.
Needing a captivating presentation, we summoned the artwork of another underground legend, Arik Roper. We pulled together something pretty special and I think you all will like this one.
This pedal operates on a Standard 9VDC power supply. No battery connection

This was great, I’m really happy with it, the eq section is extremely versatile. A coloured sound , definitely a keeper.

The pedal is great thank you. I think you were the only place in the country I could find that stocked it. Great to see you have a lot of unique stuff that the other shops don’t but still great prices.
I’d love to give a full review of the pedal but I haven’t gigged since I bought it but it still gives great results with DI, really harmonically rich and customisable with the EQ controls.
