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.49% — somewhat different

The Behringer BM-15M Murf Box is an eight-band resonant filter sequencer modeled after the Moog MuRF (Multiple Resonant Filter Array) pedal. Eight resonant filters span the guitar frequency range and a built-in rhythm sequencer animates the filter array across 12 dynamic patterns. A pattern selector and controls for Filter Frequency, Resonance, Mix, and Envelope Speed shape how the filter sequence responds to the input signal and evolves over time. Compatible with guitar and synthesizer. 9V DC power. Priced at $129. Guitar World called it a box full of analog circuitry and rich harmonic saturation.
The Carl Martin Ottawa is an analog optical envelope filter pedal delivering classic auto-wah and filter sweep effects without a treadle. Features three selectable filter modes: High Pass (HP), Band Pass (BP), and Low Pass (LP) for different frequency response characters. Q control shapes resonance and filter sweep width. Attack and Tone controls adjust filter response timing and high-frequency content. Current draw approximately 14mA. Danish boutique analog construction. Suited for funk, soul, and R&B guitar and bass players seeking touch-sensitive auto-wah tones.
