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 Type 23 is a three-band dynamic bass filter pedal from the UK-manufactured PRO FX series. Three frequency bands (high, mid, and low) are processed by independent voltage-controlled envelope filters that generate speech-like and funky bass tones. A single Sensitivity control sets how strongly the filters respond to playing dynamics. A switch on the pedal base varies the oscillation frequency of the selected filter for further tonal shaping. Requires 18V isolated power supply. Steel housing with anodized fascias and Neutrik jack sockets. Dimensions 63 x 108 x 120mm, 0.6kg.

The Donner Dynamic Wah is an envelope filter and auto-wah pedal from the Chinese budget effects manufacturer Donner, delivering pick-attack-responsive filter sweeps for funk, rock, and expressive playing. Simple Sensitivity and Range controls adjust the envelope filter response to the player's picking dynamics. Budget-accessible pricing from Donner.
