DOD 440 Envelope Filter
Submitted on March 23, 2004.
Controls
- Sens./Level
- Compensates for different instrument input levels and adjusts the level at which the filter begins to sweep. (this knob is called Sens. on red and blue versions, "Level" on the green versions)
- Range
- adjusts the lowest frequency that the filter settles back to as the input signal decays. If the Sensitivity Control is turned counter clockwise the Range control can manually adjust the filter frequency, like putting a wah pedal in a fixed position for tone coloration.
