This filter just adds delayed sub frequencies set by cut off frequency back
to output. Decay sets decay of old sub echo in buffer and feedback sets how
much
new sub frequencies are added to the delay buffer. Delay is set in 1/1000
seconds.

It changes steepness, not cutoff.

Very big, almost under 90 deg.

You can find out filter graph response for almost any filter combination in
graph.
Using this filter graph:

mpv av://lavfi:aevalsrc="not(mod(n\,32768)):d=50" -lavfi-complex
"[aid1]asupercut,asplit[ao],showfreqs=overlap=0:win_size=32768:win_func=rect:ascale=log,format=rgb0[vo]"

In place of asupercut you can put any combinations of FIR and/or IIR
filters: lowpass, bandpass, ..., aiir, afir, acrossover and so on.
