And so it came to pass, on 10-12-96 09:40,
   that John Allen spake unto David Schmoll:

That's exactly what it's designed to do... essentially, it generates 
harmonics in the upper range and subharmonics in the bass regions.  It can be 
a very useful effect if used subtly; chances are your friend had it adjusted 
poorly.  I like to use a 462 when mastering to cassette to ever-so-slightly 
enhance the bottom and top ends, but find that anything beyond just the 
smallest amount of effect tends to be too extreme.
