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.35% — somewhat different

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.
The EarthQuaker Devices Life Pedal is a distortion and boost pedal created in collaboration with the avant-garde drone metal duo Sunn O))), featuring two footswitchable gain stages: an octave up fuzz and a distortion stage voiced around the tones of Sunn O)))'s albums. The circuit draws on the Sunn Model T power amplifier topology and delivers crushing harmonic density, massive sustain, and enormous volume headroom. Used in extreme doom, drone metal, avant-garde, and experimental heavy music, the Life Pedal represents a deliberately maximal approach to gain with minimal tonal compromise.
