Applying various effects to the sound

� 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.�
