The Signalflow-Switch - Schippmann ebbe und flut User Manual

8.3 The signalflow-switch

The [signalflow]-switch (2) determines the internal signalflow of the three modules distortion unit,
VCF 1 and VCF 2. This is a very powerful function, since it changes the entire signal routing with one
"click" . The following figures explain the signal flow of these three modules, depending on the position
of this switch.
front: (2) [signalflow]
Position „D-F" (center)
The signal flow starts always at the "INPUT" (24), followed by GAIN-AMP and compressor. From this
point on, different signal routings are possible. In this position, the distortion unit is located behind the
compressor. Its output feeds both filters (VCF 1, VCF 2) in parallel. The [balance]-knob provides a vari-
able mix of both filter signals to the VCA-input.

Position „F1-D-F2" (up)
The compressor directly feeds VCF 1, distortion is located behind VCF 1 and feeds VCF 2. Both filters are
serially connected with distortion inbetween. Both filter outputs can be mixed before they are fed into
the VCA.
