hi folks.  my questions in the past have all been answered in a 
helpful mannner, thank you to all on this list.
here's today's queries:

the a108 filter.  this seems like a good one for me.  however, i 
currently have the Asol sy01 w/ moog ladder 24db lpf.  i must say it 
is dull, boring and filters too much of the signal out. it's so dull 
it almost seems like a volume nob. i had a frostwave ms20 clone, and 
(never A/Bed it with an ms20, couldn't tell you if it was in fact 
ms20-like) i thought that, by contrast, was a very good filter 
sound.  i like greasy, slimy flatulent filters.  i have a wasp 
a124.  it's cool, but perhaps has TOO much charactor.  a very cheap 
sound, which is good for me, though not all the time.  i've 
understood that the a108 can be overdriven to make dirty sounds.  
please comment, for those who have experience with the filter.  my 
first thought is that i don't care for the typical moog lpf, but it 
seems that this is more versatile and has a great range.  i think 
using the 12 and 6db outputs would be more appropriate to my type of 
sound.

also a i wonder about the spring reverb unit.  is this worth looking 
into?  i've heard some units with very short springs, and they 
didn't sound so cool.  do any of you feel that this has been a good 
unit for depth, spashy verb and other effects?

thanks to those who reply-
yours((000
