Electronic Audio Experiments Surveyor V2 vs Electronic Audio Experiments Surveyor V2.5
The Electronic Audio Experiments Surveyor V2 and the Electronic Audio Experiments Surveyor V2.5 are both pedals sharing low gain, bright.

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.47% — somewhat different

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.
The Electronic Audio Experiments Surveyor V2.5 keeps the same circuit topology, Hi/Lo gain-range toggle, and transformer-based Tube Voice distortion introduced in V2, refining rather than redesigning it: the bypass circuit was simplified by removing a microcontroller, alongside minor electrical and cosmetic tweaks. It's a polish pass on the 2021 V2 hardware revision rather than a new redesign, retaining the same Level, Gain, Bass, and Treble control layout and pre-clipping Baxandall EQ placement.
