The Classic Opto-based Analog Autowah, Only Smaller
Robert Keeley likens his Neutrino V2 to having "Jerry Garcia in a bottle." And what can we say — straight out of the box, with the Range toggle set to Lo and every knob at 12:00, this pedal nails that elusive "Shakedown Street" autowah tone without any fuss. The secret lies in the Neutrino V2's 100% analog circuitry paired with hand-selected opto-couplers, which are of an even higher grade than you'll find in a mint vintage original. Neutrino's three filters types, two sweep directions, and a peak resonance control give you full control of your quacky chordal sweeps and vowel-like intensities. On the side, a recessed Direction switch takes this pedal from "wah" (closed to open) to "aw" (open to closed) based on your pick attack, while a mini Output control helps compensate for any perceived drops in volume. Beyond guitar, we're pleased to report that the Neutrino V2 holds its own on bass and keyboard instruments, which means extra mileage for you and your band live and in the studio. Even better, true bypass switching preserves your tone with the pedal disengaged, so you'll never have to worry about tone suck. If you've been chasing the vibe of that coveted classic autowah, Keeley's Neutrino V2 envelope filter is a pedal that definitely needs to be on your radar. Proudly made in the USA!

Premium analog opto-couplers
Keeley's take on the classic autowah/envelope filter beloved by Bob, John, and Jerry is the Neutrino V2. The latest version of this classic pedal manages to shrink the opto-coupler-fed analog design of the original into a standard pedal form factor. With the Neutrino V2 on your board, you can leave that mammoth III Series 'Tron locked up at home.
"The harder you pick, the harder it 'wahs'!" — Robert Keeley
Neutrino V2's dynamic filtering follows your pick attack, giving you full control of its vocal-like tones from your fingers — no rocker pedal required.
New side-mounted output control
Neutrino V2 now gives you an output control on the side of the pedal. Use this to compensate for any perceived volume loss when engaging the filters, or just abuse it to drive your amp harder.
