Delicious Audio published coverage of the Bleak District Electric Sun V2 on December 27, 2023, describing the pedal as a distortion preamp voiced after the Sunn Model T amplifier¹. The V2 adds an EQ toggle offering two variations for the Tone knob, the site reported¹.

The circuit uses both op-amp and NOS JFET transistor amplifiers in multiple gain stages, according to Delicious Audio, which said the arrangement is meant to produce the deep yet snappy response of a Model T amp¹. A Mode toggle provides two saturation voicings: "Vintage," which the site said closely emulates the vintage original, and "Reissue," voiced after the 2007 reissues¹.

The EQ toggle is the version 2 change. Delicious Audio described it as offering two variations for the Tone knob "without ever losing the amps' signature deep end and overall clarity"¹. A PedalPedia listing for the Sun?No V2 gives the same account, saying the toggle switches between two different EQ variations for the active tone control². The listing describes the pedal as a distortion preamp inspired by the Sunn Model T and cites hybrid gain stages of op amp and NOS JFET transistor amplifiers².

The PedalPedia listing gives the circuit type as analog and the voltage as 9V DC, center negative². Its width, depth and height fields show placeholder values of 000.00 mm². Neither source gave a price or a release date for the V2.
