If you want to replace filter modules, then I'd recommend:
* A105 as replacement for the A120 (the A105 is technically extremely 
close to the Mutator!). This is for the thick fat basses, great singing 
resonances. If you want the Kraftwerk Zongggg-Bassdrum, then use this one.
* A106-5 as replacement for the A121 which should provide the classy, 
less extreme vintage sound. (In fact the A121 circuit is very similar to 
the OB-Xa 12dB Filter, where the A106 is the Oberheim SEM 12dB Filter).
* A106-1 or A102 for the crude dirty stuff. Maybe also A101-1.

Please keep in mind: replacing the A121 by the A106-6 does not make much 
sense. Though you have different slopes, the basic sound is identical. 
both use basically the same filter chip (A121 uses the CEM3320, where 
A106-6 uses CEM3372, which is a 3320 plus two VCAs). Soundwise they are 
quite similar!
