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.53% — moderately similar

The Benson Amps Stonk Box is a germanium MK1 Fuzz with an automatic thermal bias system that keeps the germanium transistors (2N404 or 2N527) at a consistent operating temperature using analog warmers, eliminating the temperature sensitivity of vintage germanium fuzz. Derived from the very first fuzz circuit ever made, it retains the original Filter and Volume controls and adds Tone and Trim for an expanded palette. The Filter control manipulates both gain and bias point simultaneously, creating a dynamic expander effect at low settings. Buffer and pedal-order agnostic. Handmade by Benson Amps in Portland, Oregon. Regarded as a breakthrough in temperature-stable vintage germanium fuzz design.
The JAM Pedals Eureka is a germanium fuzz pedal from Greek boutique maker JAM Pedals, using vintage germanium transistors to produce the warm, soft-clipping fuzz character associated with 1960s germanium fuzz designs. JAM Pedals is known for sourcing premium vintage components for their germanium-based designs, and the Eureka delivers the warm, dark, temperamental character of vintage germanium fuzz circuits with Greek boutique handmade quality. The Eureka suits blues, vintage rock, and psych rock applications where the specific germanium warmth is the tonal goal.
