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.31% — somewhat different

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Keeley K-FIL is a filter and equalizer pedal from Keeley Electronics providing precise frequency shaping capability for tone control in complex signal chains. Keeley Electronics, based in Norman, Oklahoma, builds American-made effects pedals known for quality construction, careful circuit design, and a wide product range spanning transparent utility tools to boutique gain and modulation effects. The K-FIL reflects Keeley's approach to tone control and signal management.
The Subdecay Proteus MKII is an envelope and sample/hold filter pedal from Subdecay of Oregon, built around an all-analogue OTA filter core similar to vintage Maestro units with digital control for tap tempo and mode switching. In envelope mode it tracks pick attack for classic vocal, quacking auto-wah sweeps; in sample/hold mode it steps the filter to random pitches for stuttering, bubbling, unpredictable synth-like textures locked to tap tempo. The resonance control moves the voice from subtle and rounded through to greasy, gritty, sharply peaked synth tones, and an external switch selects low-pass for a fat, sweeping character or band-pass for a thinner, more vocal and nasal response. It suits players after funk-flavoured filter movement as well as generative, rhythmic and experimental modulation textures.
