Figure 98 Resonating frequencies with FB Invert set to (i) Out and set to (ii) In.
In addition to the distortion warmth filter, there are six filters built into the delay line loop: a highpass, a
lowpass, a treble and a bass shelf, and two parametric midrange filters. Boosting the shelves or mids
increases the strength of instability at the boosted frequencies. Since overall level is controlled, the net
effect is to reduce the level of the other frequencies. Using filters to cut frequencies is similar, but with cut
it is possible to remove so much signal that the algorithm drops into stability and stops self-resonating.
The individual elements of Chaos! (filters and so forth) are fairly basic, and you may understand them
well. When put together as the Chaos! algorithm, the interactions become very complex and many of the
old rules don’t seem to apply. Keep plugging at it.

In/Out When set to In, the effect is active. When set to Out, the effect is bypassed.
Out Gain The overall gain or amplitude at the output of the effect. The output gain is outside and
after the feedback loop.
Drive Sets how high the distortion is to be driven. The distortion and its drive gain are inside the
feedback loop.
