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.

The EarthQuaker Devices Blackout Gary is a limited all-black edition of the Akron, Ohio boutique builder's Gary pedal, combining an opamp overdrive circuit with a gated fuzz for a versatile two-character gain tool. Gary functions as an expressive opamp-driven overdrive at lower settings and engages a gated fuzz character at higher gain settings, producing two distinct tonal characters from a single circuit. The Blackout edition shares the identical circuit with the standard Gary, differing only in its all-black cosmetic finish. Suited for blues, fuzz, and experimental players.
The Fjord Fuzz Dovre is a fuzz pedal from Norwegian boutique maker Fjord Fuzz, named after the Dovre mountain range in central Norway. Fjord Fuzz builds handmade boutique fuzz pedals with a Norwegian character and mythology-inspired naming tradition. The Dovre delivers a characterful fuzz voice suited to the brand approach of building personality-driven, boutique-quality fuzz instruments. Like other Fjord Fuzz products, it is available through specialty dealers and direct, with production limited by the handmade Norwegian manufacturing approach.
