highwayone Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I know what some self explanatory effects do like fuzz,wah etc but being a new player I haven't the foggiest what some do like envelope filter and flanger etc?!?! Is there somewhere on here that lists effects and what they actually do? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.i.stein Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) not sure if there's anything on BC that does what you ask, but a quick google turned up this : [url="http://www.gmarts.org/index.php?go=221"]http://www.gmarts.org/index.php?go=221[/url] as for envelope filters and/or auto-wah, think of them as wah triggered by your fingers and dynamics, which can be either up or down sweeps, and the parameters like release time set to your liking.

I have this really cool effect that if I use it, it increases the initial amplitude of each note, lifts and can clip the front end of the note and helps define the individual notes with a slightly percussive 'click' sound... I call it a plectrum (T.M.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
