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.

The EarthQuaker Devices Spatial Delivery V2 is a sample and hold envelope filter with a Mode toggle switching between Up Sweep, Down Sweep, and Sample & Hold functions, alongside Range, Resonance, and Filter controls. In Sample and Hold mode, the Range control governs the sample speed rather than filter sweep width, giving the pedal a glitchy, randomized filtering character distinct from a standard auto-wah or envelope filter. It's built for players wanting synth-like, unpredictable filtering textures alongside more conventional up/down envelope sweep modes in one pedal.
The Electro-Harmonix Doctor Q is a classic analog envelope filter and auto-wah pedal from Electro-Harmonix, originally introduced in 1976, delivering pick-attack-responsive filter sweeps with a single Sensitivity control. The Doctor Q is one of EHX's earliest and most historically significant effects pedals, producing the funky auto-wah character popularized in 1970s funk and soul recordings. The simple single-knob design delivers immediate envelope filter response.
