A-106-1 Xtreme Filter (MS20) : A screaming monster once you feed it well!

10 years ago

This has become one of my favourite filters. It definitely has that MS20 character, but, as is usual with Doepfer, goes much further. Some folks complain that it doesn't sound 'xtreme' enough, but this is all down to incorrect gain staging. That's what the gain input attenuator is for! I have found that it works best when set around 1 (out of 10). Crank the resonance past 5-6 and it turns into a musical screaming beast! There's a jumper on the back to turn HP input polarizer into a regular attenuator. I prefer this mode as you can easily turn off HP input without requiring dummy cables. With 3CV inputs and a feedback path what's not to love!
