Re: Dopefer A-122 filter

2011-05-20 by jakobsweb

Hi,
I totally agree with you on the sound of CEMs.
Personally I think the DE filter and a A-122 are quite different from another. The A-122 is one of my favourite 4-pole LPs (I have almost all Doepfer filter modules) as is the A-105. The A-122 has a lovely 'wet' and rather softish smack to its sound (with some resonance added and mod). Something I don't find with the DE's filter.
Of course it depends on what you feed into the filter, whether you overdrive it (level) etc etc ...
