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.48% — 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.
Tycobrahe Parapedal Wah is a mid-1970s treadle-controlled wah using State-Variable Filter circuit with dual frequency peaks creating wide sweep range and complex tonal response. The integrated volume and tonal attenuation at heel-down position produces pronounced drop in brightness, yielding unique sub-bass tones and envelope-like character.
