[sdiy] Multi-output comb filter?

Is it possible to build a delay based comb filter that's missing the
first peak? I.e. say we have a comb filter at 1 Hz, with peaks every 1
Hz, is it possible to also have a comb filter at 2 Hz with peaks every
1 Hz - perhaps using multiple delays? I know when you synthesize
waveforms using DSF ("discrete summation formula") synthesis, you can
create a waveform at any base frequency, with the partials spaced by
any constant amount of Hz, but I'm not sure how this would be done
with a delay based comb filter. Note, I'm talking about synthesizing
this in digital.
