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.55% — moderately similar

The Electro-Harmonix Micro Q-Tron is a compact analog envelope filter, condensing EHX's classic Q-Tron auto-wah circuit into a smaller pedalboard-friendly enclosure. It tracks playing dynamics to automatically sweep a resonant filter, producing funky, vocal-like auto-wah textures without needing an expression pedal, driven purely by how hard the player picks.
The Electro-Harmonix Riddle is a Q-Balls style guitar envelope filter pedal from Electro-Harmonix, delivering pick-attack-responsive auto-wah filter sweeps with Q, Range, Mix, and Drive controls. The Riddle produces funky, dynamic filter sweeps that follow playing dynamics with adjustable Q resonance for sharp filter peaks and Drive for adding harmonic content. Operates in both guitar and bass frequency ranges via Range control.
