5.5.9 Comb
Comb Filter
Comb lters change the sound by delaying the signal by a few milliseconds and then mixing
the delayed signal with the original. As a result, the level of certain frequencies may be raised
or attenuated in the ltered signal.
%
Effects such as the phaser and the anger use this phenomenon. By modulating the Comb’s
parameters, you can quickly produce a nice anging effect.
Main Panel
The Comb Filter has the following parameters:
• FrequencycontrolandFrequencymenu: The Frequency control allows you to set the cut-
off frequency in semitones (Trans) or in Hertz (Hz), upon the selection in the nearby
Frequency menu.
•
Feedbackcontrol: Sets the amplication factor for the delayed signal. Higher values induce
steeper frequency peaks/cancellations.
• Dampingcontrol: Allows you to balance out any level uctuations introduced by the lter
(in dB).
