Filter Blend: Parallel Filter Configuration Information
In a parallel configuration, the overdrive/distortion circuit—the Drive parameter—is
always wired after the oscillator mix stage—the Triangle—and before the filters. The filters
receive a mono input signal from the output of the overdrive circuit. The outputs of both
filters are mixed to mono via Filter Blend.

Choosing Filter 1’s Mode in the ES2 (Lo, Hi, Peak, BR, BP)
Filter 1 can operate in several modes, allowing specific frequency bands to be filtered
(cut away) or emphasized.
Select one of the following buttons to choose a filter mode for Filter 1:
Lo (lowpass): This filter type allows frequencies that fall below the cutoff frequency to
pass. When set to Lo, the filter operates as a lowpass filter. The slope of Filter 1 is fixed
at 12 dB/octave in Lo mode.
Hi (highpass): This filter type allows frequencies above the cutoff frequency to pass.
When set to Hi, the filter operates as a highpass filter. The slope of Filter 1 is fixed at
12 dB/octave in Hi mode.
Peak: Filter 1 works as a peak filter. This allows the level in a frequency band to be
increased. The center of the frequency band is determined by the Cutoff parameter.
The width of the band is controlled by the Resonance parameter.
