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.43% — somewhat different

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Mu-Tron III is the classic 1970s envelope filter, an auto-wah that responds to pick dynamics with a vocal, quacky sweep. Used by Andy Summers and many funk and fusion players, it delivers expressive, dynamic filter sweeps from subtle to dramatic. It suits funk rhythm, fusion and experimental playing where touch-responsive, vowel-like filtering is wanted.
The Smokin' Amp Co. Micro V Envelope Filter (V2) is a boutique envelope filter pedal that automatically sweeps a resonant filter based on playing dynamics, producing funky, vocal-like auto-wah textures without needing an expression pedal. Built by Smokin' Amp Co., a boutique builder known for constructing well-regarded circuit designs, the V2 revision reflects continued refinement of the Micro V envelope filter platform.
