An audio signal processing system for producing a moving comb filter effect having an all pass phase filter or other suitable phase shifting device in a first input branch and a bypass circuit with an optional inverter in a second input branch. A frequency shifter is inserted either into the first or the second input branch. A first summing network is connected to the outputs of the first and second input branch. An optional second summing network is connected to the output of the first input branch and the inverted output of the second input branch. A feedback circuit may be connected between the output of one of the summing networks to the input of the system to enhance the moving comb filter effect. Also, at least one switching circuit may be used to obtain phase reversals in the frequency shifter thereby facilitating up or down detuning or successive up and down detunings of the comb filter frequencies.
