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.39% — somewhat different

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 Ivy Filter IV v2 is a filter-type effects pedal from Ivy, a small boutique builder, with the roman numeral IV and v2 designation indicating this is the fourth entry in an ongoing filter-pedal lineage now in its second hardware revision, suggesting the brand has iterated on this circuit across multiple releases. Filter pedals of this kind generally shape a guitar or bass signal's frequency response dynamically or through manual sweep control, occupying territory similar to envelope filters or resonant wahs rather than straightforward gain or time-based effects. Specific control layout and sweep character for this exact revision aren't confirmed from available sources.
