Keeley Neutrino V2 vs Vox V847 Wah

The Keeley Neutrino V2 and the Vox V847 Wah are both pedals sharing mid-forward, dynamic, glassy.

Similarity
citedBlended 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.

Description

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 Vox V847 is a reissue of the classic Vox wah that helped define the effect on countless 1960s and 1970s records, delivering the unmistakable Vox wah tone with dramatic, vocal-like sweeps that cut through a mix. A redesigned inductor brings its specs closer to the original, and it is prized for a vintage-style quack ideal for classic rock, funk, blues, and R&B, capturing a Hendrix-flavored vibe. Its filter sweep can feel almost analog-synth-like, morphing between low-pass and high-pass character as the treadle rocks, which opens it to less traditional uses as well. Reviews are somewhat mixed on its vintage authenticity, with some finding it thinner and treblier than warm old units, with muddy lows and piercing highs and a harshness at the toe-down position, but it remains a widely used, expressive wah that captures the core Vox character at an accessible price.
