The Effects and Parameters
The Comb effects work by com-
bining the original input signal with
a micro-delayed version. The tiny
delay difference between the two
signals causes certain frequen-
cies to be cancelled or reinforced
when the two are combined. The
result is a highly colored version of
the original source. The coloration
can be “tuned” with the Comb
(Comb 1) or Depth (Comb 2). Low
and High pass filters are included
so you can limit the frequency
band in which the combing occurs.
Comb 1 is a mono comb with
single-pole low and high cut filters.
There are two ways to get the
comb effect. The first is to set mix
to 100% (wet), then set Notch to 50
or -50. This essentially creates a
band-limited signal (limited by
LoCut and HiCut) which is then run
through a comb. You can also set
mix= 50%, Lvl = 0dB, and Notch=
+100. In this case, the band-limiter
is part of the comb. In this version,
the effect produces shallower
notch depths outside the band-
limit region.
Comb 2 is a dual mono comb
with a second tap, controlled by a
single LFO with adjustable phase.
The phase relation between the
two waves can be adjusted be-
tween 0-270°.
