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 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.
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.
