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.48% — somewhat different

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 Terminal is a destructive fuzz pedal from EQD, described by Guitar World as raunchy and ratty with practically nothing in common with classic fuzz. The Terminal delivers extreme, abrasive saturation with a raw, unpredictable quality that pushes well beyond conventional fuzz territory into aggressive, almost broken-sounding territory. Unusually for a dedicated fuzz pedal, it has been reviewed as performing well with various guitar types and amplifiers from Fenders to Marshalls to modern high-gain boutique amps, suggesting a more universal application than its extreme character implies.
