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.34% — 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 is a preamp, EQ, and fuzz pedal built around dual gain stages delivering over 39dB of total gain, with Master, Pre-Volume, and Step controls for precise gain staging, a powerful 3-band EQ with wide-ranging Shift knobs (Treble 2kHz-30kHz, Middle 150Hz-2.4kHz, Bass 20Hz-440Hz), and a Hi/Lo switch controlling clean headroom, from ultra-clean in Lo mode to readily distorting, fuzz-adjacent breakup in Hi mode. It also passes phantom power to condenser microphones, reflecting its studio-preamp origins alongside its guitar-pedal functionality.
