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.66% — moderately similar

The DOD Envelope Filter 440 is a classic analog envelope filter and auto-wah pedal originally produced by DOD Electronics in 1977, delivering pick-attack-responsive filter sweeps with Sensitivity and Range controls. The DOD 440 became a widely used auto-wah with players including Jerry Garcia, who used it on the Grateful Dead's recordings. Later reissued under the DigiTech/DOD brand. An important pedal in envelope filter history.
The Keeley Nova Wah is a touch-sensitive auto-wah and envelope filter pedal from Keeley Electronics (Edmond, Oklahoma), delivering dynamic filter sweep that responds to playing touch for expressive wah effects without a physical wah pedal. The Nova Wah provides an alternative to conventional treadle wahs by using envelope following for automatic, playing-responsive wah character at Keeley Oklahoma boutique quality.
