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.32% — somewhat different

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Source Audio Programmable EQ 2 is a 10-band parametric and graphic EQ from Source Audio (Boston, Massachusetts), delivering precise frequency control with MIDI-controllable preset recall and Neuro app programmability for comprehensive EQ management live and in studio. The Programmable EQ 2 allows instant switching between multiple EQ configurations via MIDI for live players who need dynamic EQ control.
The Source Audio Spectrum Intelligent Filter is a stereo filter pedal built around three distinct modes -- Tron, Dumpling and Thrust -- covering classic auto-wah quack, enveloped phaser sweeps, and distorted synth-like octave voices with raunchy saturation. Its strength is the relationship between input envelope and filter response, which reviewers describe as unusually natural and fluid where envelope filters are typically fiddly to set up, tracking pick attack closely and reacting musically at both soft and hard dynamics. It is completely free of the hiss and hum common to analogue envelope filters. Six factory patches ship onboard, with the Neuro desktop and mobile editors opening deeper sound design, alongside MIDI control. Works equally well on guitar and bass.
