IVY Filter IV v2

Ivy · pedal

The Ivy Filter IV v2 is a filter-type effects pedal from Ivy, a small boutique builder, with the roman numeral IV and v2 designation indicating this is the fourth entry in an ongoing filter-pedal lineage now in its second hardware revision, suggesting the brand has iterated on this circuit across multiple releases. Filter pedals of this kind generally shape a guitar or bass signal's frequency response dynamically or through manual sweep control, occupying territory similar to envelope filters or resonant wahs rather than straightforward gain or time-based effects. Specific control layout and sweep character for this exact revision aren't confirmed from available sources.
