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.41% — 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 Zoar is a high-gain distortion and fuzz pedal with independent Distortion, Fuzz, Tone, and Volume controls that allow the two gain stages to be blended and sculpted independently. It spans a wide range from tight, compressed distortion to chaotic, blooming fuzz by adjusting the balance of the two stages. The Zoar suits heavy psych, doom, stoner rock, and noise rock contexts where high gain, dense harmonic content, and extreme sustain are primary requirements.
