Quick Start

Vibrato and Wah effects (LFO)

The LFO, short for “low frequency oscillator,” makes changes to the sound in
periodic fashion. Changing the pitch with the LFO produces the “

vibrato effect

,”

and by changing the filter cutoff frequency with the LFO, you get what is called the

wah effect

.”
