Similarity
citedBlended 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.

Description

The Black Arts Toneworks Destroyer V2 combines the Ritual V2 and Oath circuits in a unified dual-mode enclosure, spanning from a controllable high-gain fuzz wall through to a savage, preamp-style annihilator. The Ritual V2 side provides aggressive but manageable high-gain fuzz with extended sustain, while the Oath adds extreme compressed distortion with a more compressed and chaotic high-gain character. Designed for extreme metal, doom, and noise-rock applications where raw sonic aggression is the primary requirement.

The EarthQuaker Devices Hizumitas Fuzz V2 is the second version of the Akron, Ohio boutique builder's massive silicon fuzz pedal, designed in collaboration with Wata from Boris as a recreation of her vintage Elk BM Sustainar fuzz. The V2 update refines the original circuit with improved component selection. Like the original, it delivers enormous, heavy distortion and smooth sustain with underlying grit that walks the distortion-fuzz boundary. Essential for doom, drone, noise rock, and heavy psych applications.
