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 Death By Audio Evil Filter is a filter and resonance pedal from the Brooklyn boutique manufacturer, providing aggressive, sweeping filter and resonance effects with the capability to enter extreme self-oscillation and noise territory. The filter character covers envelope-sensitive filtering through fixed-frequency extreme filter and resonance combinations. A creative and experimental filter tool with extreme capability. Made in Brooklyn, New York by Death By Audio.

The Spaceman Polaris is a dynamic, medium-gain overdrive built around a 2-pole resonant filter, offering Level, Drive, Initial, and Filter knobs alongside two mode switches and an expression pedal input for real-time, hands-free filter sweeps. The resonant filter design pushes the overdrive beyond a standard drive pedal's territory into synth-like, sweeping filtered textures, drawing 16-17mA and accepting a wide 9-24VDC input range. Part of Spaceman's Cadet Series, it's built for players wanting overdrive with genuinely unconventional, filter-driven tonal movement.
