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.47% — somewhat different

The Pigtronix Resotron is an analog resonant tracking filter from Pigtronix (New York, US), delivering a resonant filter that tracks the pitch of the input guitar signal for dynamic, harmonically-correlated filter effects. The Resotron provides experimental, self-oscillating resonant filter character for experimental, synth-influenced, and avant-garde guitar applications at Pigtronix boutique quality.
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.
