Installation

What do the knobs do?

Mix controls the amount of the audio which is processed by CamelPhat™.
Distortion is similar to many guitar distortion pedals. It will increase the perceived loudness of the signal, and will also distort the signal.
Filter Mix controls the amount of the signal which passes through the low pass resonant filter. Increase this for a more bizarre sound.
Filter Envelope controls the amount the cutoff frequency is swept by the changing volume of the incoming signal. Only available in Super CamelPhat™.
Filter Cutoff controls the frequency, above which, all frequencies are filtered out and also the frequency at which resonance occurs.
Filter Resonance is the amount by which the signal is boosted at the cutoff frequency. As you increase resonance, it will start to 'squeal' in 303 style.
Flanger controls the amount of signal passed through the flanger, which makes the sound appear to sweep up and down. Super CamelPhat™.
Tube Distortion sets the amount of tube like distortion. This is similar to the overdrive effect but it is less harsh.
'Magic' EQ applys a specially designed equaliser, to provide more bottom end. Only available in Super CamelPhat™.
Soft Limit controls the amount of soft limiting which occurs. Turn this up if you want to increase the volume of the audio without colouring the sound.
