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.53% — moderately similar

The Behringer Meatball Restyled is an analog envelope filter pedal modeled after the legendary Lovetone Meatball, a cult-classic filter unit from the 1990s. Offers Low-Pass, Band-Pass, and High-Pass filter types with four filter modes for varied tonal characters. An FX send and return loop allows inserting additional effects (drive, octave, etc.) into the filter signal path. Dual expression pedal inputs provide simultaneous control over filter parameters via CV or expression pedal. Threshold and sensitivity controls for dynamic filter response. 9V DC, high current draw above 400mA; power supply included. True bypass.
The Electro-Harmonix Micro Q-Tron is a miniaturized envelope filter pedal delivering auto-wah and funky filter effects triggered by picking attack. Features Q, Volume, and Mode controls with three filter mode selections: Band-Pass Filter (BPF), Low-Pass Filter (LPF), and High-Pass Filter (HPF). The Q control adjusts the resonance and sensitivity of the filter sweep. A smaller, more pedalboard-friendly version of the Q-Tron, suited for funk, soul, R&B, and expressive rock or bass playing.
