Keeley Neutrino V2
Keeley · pedal
The Keeley Neutrino V2 is a compact, all-analog opto-coupler envelope filter and auto-wah that creates a touch-sensitive wah sound from your pick attack. Hand-selected opto-couplers, described as higher grade than those in vintage originals, give it a smooth, vowel-like, vocal tone. It offers three filter ranges, two sweep directions, two frequency-center ranges, and a Peak control for shaping resonance, with true bypass to avoid tone suck. It suits funk, fusion, and expressive playing where dynamic filter movement adds vocal character to lines. Simple to dial in for a satisfying auto-wah, it is a small, focused envelope filter, though some players find its output can sound thinner than they expect at certain settings.
