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 Emma DiscomBOBulator is an envelope filter and auto-wah pedal designed to track playing dynamics precisely, responding to both fast single-note runs and strong chorded input without losing definition. It retains the guitar's full tonal spectrum through the filter sweep, avoiding the volume dips or peaks that can plague simpler envelope filters, with reliable, accurate tracking. Sensitivity, Width, and Attack controls plus an up/down direction switch shape how the filter opens and closes in response to pick attack, covering everything from a classic funky quack to more extreme, sweeping wah-like textures. It suits funk and experimental players wanting a precise, versatile auto-wah with strong dynamic tracking.
The Pigtronix Resotron is an all-analog tracking multimode filter that brings vintage 1970s synthesizer character to envelope-filter territory for guitar, bass, and keyboard. Its 24dB-per-octave filter is based on the SSM2040 chip found in some classic synths, offering traditional up and down envelope-filter modes plus a unique pitch-following mode where the filter adjusts to the actual notes played rather than just pick attack, like an old-school analog synth. It covers subtle auto-wah variations for funk riffing, reggae rhythms, and Jerry Garcia-style leads, and can also coax phaser- and flanger-like tones. Onboard compression keeps things punchy without affecting sensitivity, and an expression jack allows foot control of the cutoff for conventional wah use. It also turns overdrive and distortion into creamy, near-fuzz tones.
