Similarity
citedBlended 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.

Description

The Ashdown Funk Faze is a bass twin dynamic filter pedal designed with Stuart Zender, Jamiroquai bassist. A twin dynamic filter circuit delivers everything from subtle envelope filtering to full auto-wah shaped by playing dynamics. Controls include Sensitivity, Mix, and Output (which doubles as a clean boost), plus two footswitches for effect bypass and drive engagement. Valve-emulated overdrive is switchable pre or post the wah filter. True bypass. 9V DC 45mA, 145.5 x 116.2 x 65mm, 0.9kg. Reviewed by Premier Guitar for thick foundation and harmonic detail.

The Keeley Neutrino V2 is a compact, all-analog opto-coupler envelope filter and auto-wah that creates a touch-sensitive wah sound from your pick attack. Hand-selected opto-couplers, described as higher grade than those in vintage originals, give it a smooth, vowel-like, vocal tone. It offers three filter ranges, two sweep directions, two frequency-center ranges, and a Peak control for shaping resonance, with true bypass to avoid tone suck. It suits funk, fusion, and expressive playing where dynamic filter movement adds vocal character to lines. Simple to dial in for a satisfying auto-wah, it is a small, focused envelope filter, though some players find its output can sound thinner than they expect at certain settings.
