Anti-Feedback modulates the pitch around unity for a subtle or wild effect. Control them manually, via MIDI or with Anti-Feedback. True analog modeling of highly nonlinear electronics for faithful reproduction of original juicyness and grit. The built-in envelope follower makes exploring these possibilities easy. Back in the day, engineers and producers discovered that sending a control voltage to the box to slightly (or massively) vary the pitch created new sonic vistas. NEW Envelope Follower - An envelope follower has also been implemented in this latest release. With the H910 plug-in you can easily use MIDI to control pitch and harmonization in real-time.
