Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.49% — somewhat different

The Beetronics OC-BS is a custom shop variant from Beetronics FX. The OC designation likely refers to the Octahive, Beetronics octave-up fuzz pedal, in a specific custom finish. The Octahive produces aggressive upper-octave fuzz tones suited for psychedelic rock, classic rock leads, and experimental sounds. Beetronics custom shop pieces are built in very small hand-finished runs with unique bee-themed artwork and boutique-grade components. The OC-BS represents a limited collectible variant of the Octahive circuit.
The Electronic Audio Experiments Eldritch Blast V2 is a high-gain fuzz built around an octave/intermodulation generator producing splatty, octave-up textures alongside sinister high-gain fuzz tones, shaped by a switchable active EQ and a More control governing the octave-feed intensity. The 2021 V2 revision moved to an SMT circuit board with soft-touch bypass switching and added a Chaos toggle for gated textural effects, along with improved EQ headroom, though it runs at slightly lower gain and output than the original V1 circuit.
