Doepfer A-136

It need some practice

It's a really good hard clipper and it works well as a waveshaper. However it takes a bit of time to understand how to get the most out of it. I'm still learning....

A-136

Iv had this for while now, and it always amaze me how nice it can sound on drums or base lines. I find my self using it on LFOs as well with great effect. Plus the price of the unit is good for what it offers. If your looking for wave shaper then you can't go wrong with A-136

Doepfer A-136

Brillant maschine that allows you to shape the sound in a infinity of different sound from one source !

It must be in any of the eurorack case for techno producers but also in general, really recommended 10+

Less Distortion, More Added Beef

I found this to add less distortion and more of a general fuzz/amp module giving the sound a bit louder/thicker sound than the perceived distortion that you would achieve, but as always, great build quality and a lovely module to add to the collection, great for beefing up bass lines created on a modular.

Capable Waveshaping

As with all Doepfer products, the a136 is powerful, inexpensive and logically laid out. It requires careful gainstaging to coax the best performance from it so be warned you'll be spending some time initially finding the sweet spots - but they are there, rest assured. I often use the a136 on my stand alone synths also, as well as my eurorack only sound design, with great results. Just remember your gainstaging and you'll love it.
