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 Keeley Neutrino V2 is a compact, all-analog opto-coupler envelope filter and auto-wah that creates a touch-sensitive wah sound from your pick attack. Hand-selected opto-couplers, described as higher grade than those in vintage originals, give it a smooth, vowel-like, vocal tone. It offers three filter ranges, two sweep directions, two frequency-center ranges, and a Peak control for shaping resonance, with true bypass to avoid tone suck. It suits funk, fusion, and expressive playing where dynamic filter movement adds vocal character to lines. Simple to dial in for a satisfying auto-wah, it is a small, focused envelope filter, though some players find its output can sound thinner than they expect at certain settings.
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.
