hello rob, the a133 multiplies by factor -2.5 to +2.5, which means that f.e. +3 volts and be amplified to something between +7.5 or -7.5 volts. but you can also order it with a multiply-factor of -5 to +5. the maximum output voltage is limited to something around 12 volts i guess

Hi Thomas, this is my favourite subject: filters! And even better: I will not hide what I liked about four filters I owned from Doepfer! So, let's start my completely subjective comment. First: mighty A-108. Description: fat, but not Moog warm. It reminds me on Roland System 100

Hi Thomas, I tend to agree mostly with zoran A-102: resonance range is not optimal; hard to fine-tune (A.Sol. RS500e is much more to my liking ; but it's price is almost double) A-109: nice alround filter, but I generally prefer 12db over 24db slopes. Really appreciate the built-
