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.61% — moderately similar

The Electronic Audio Experiments Surveyor Instrument Voicing Preamp is a compact reinterpretation of EAE's discontinued rackmount preamp, applying transformer-based "Tube Voice" distortion after a 2-band Baxandall EQ, so bass and treble shaping happens before the clipping stage rather than after. Level, Gain, Bass, and Treble controls are joined by a Hi/Lo gain-range switch, giving both subtle preamp coloration and more overtly driven tones from the same circuit. As the original-generation Surveyor, it predates the V2 hardware revision that added the Hi/Lo toggle and a new enclosure format.
The Electronic Audio Experiments Surveyor V2 is a genuine 2021 hardware revision of the original Surveyor Instrument Voicing Preamp, introducing a new enclosure and mechanical format along with a Hi/Lo gain-range toggle for accessing both subtle preamp coloration and more overtly driven tones from a single switch, plus added over-voltage and ESD protection circuitry. It retains the original's transformer-based Tube Voice distortion applied after a 2-band Baxandall EQ, with Level, Gain, Bass, and Treble controls carrying over unchanged.
