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.30% — somewhat different

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 Tone City TC-T0 Fuxx Fuzz combines fuzz, distortion, and a switchable upper-octave effect in one compact mini pedal, aimed at delivering musical, easy-to-use tones across a range of styles rather than a single narrow fuzz voicing. Two distinct fuzz modes plus a responsive tone control give it a wide range from tame, usable grit to genuinely wild, saturated fuzz. The octave effect can be toggled on or off independently, adding harmonic complexity when engaged without forcing players to commit to it as a fixed part of the pedal's character.
