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 Electro-Harmonix Cock Fight Plus is a cocked talking wah and fuzz pedal that builds on the original Cock Fight with a rugged, lightweight design and a traditional rack-and-pinion treadle mechanism. It contains two expressive filters: a traditional wah filter and a formant filter for vowel-like talking effects, plus a lively fuzz section that can be placed before or after the filter or removed entirely. As a wah it is smooth and even with a sweet quack reminiscent of a classic Cry Baby, cleaner in the treble than many budget rivals, and adding fuzz exaggerates the effect with more bottom end and saturated gain. Routing the fuzz after the filter gives classic rock tones, while placing it before yields synth-like textures. It suits rock and experimental players wanting wah, talking filter, and fuzz in one unit.
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.
