Step Filter Delay

Step Filter Delay is a delay effect exclusive to the Fender Tone Master Pro. It sequences filter movements across the delay repeats, so the echoes pulse, shift, and evolve in a rhythmic pattern. Low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass filter types, plus step count, resonance, and pattern controls, make it useful for synced patterns and experimental delay sounds.
