I discovered something weird. A comb filter can act like a delay unit. I suppose this is old news to you seasoned veterans.

It’s cool to discover how your favorite effects work
Actually many effects we use and love are “built” using delays
Reverb can be made with big feedback delays
Chorus is a very fast rate delay
Flanger is something with delays too but i never truly understand
Aaaaand Comb filter makes delayed signals that “clash” and phase with each other
First thing i tried doing upon learning this was create my own effects with delays in Vcv and sunvox
Have fun too if you plan to try

Hi Jon!
Well, a comb filter IS actually a delay. Some of the frequencies of the delayed signals will cancel one another and you will get attenuation in the shape of a comb so that’s why it’s called comb filter. It can get quite psychedelic also, I love it
