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.31% — somewhat different

The Electronic Audio Experiments Eldritch Blast V2 is a high-gain fuzz built around an octave/intermodulation generator producing splatty, octave-up textures alongside sinister high-gain fuzz tones, shaped by a switchable active EQ and a More control governing the octave-feed intensity. The 2021 V2 revision moved to an SMT circuit board with soft-touch bypass switching and added a Chaos toggle for gated textural effects, along with improved EQ headroom, though it runs at slightly lower gain and output than the original V1 circuit.
The JHS Colour Box V2 10-Year Anniversary Edition is a limited-run colorway of the standard Colour Box V2, distinguished by a deep navy blue chassis as a nod to classic British studio gear, marking JHS Pedals' tenth anniversary. The underlying circuit is identical to the standard V2: dual gain stages with over 39dB of gain, wide-ranging Treble/Middle/Bass Shift EQ knobs, the Hi/Lo clean-headroom switch, and phantom power support for condenser microphones. The edition exists as a collectible finish rather than a functional or tonal upgrade.
