Doepfer

Hi,

How is the sound of the Doepfer phasers A-101-3 and A-125 compared to older
units like Roland, Mutron and the like? The classic Mutron Bi-Phase sound is
outstanding, but I just want more cv control over the parameters.

Regards

Jose

Hi Jose,

If you want to you can make the 101-3 sound so much like the 
mutron biphase you'll only hear the difference - the lack of a certain 
shimmer - if you compare a/b, but that's just the plain vanilla flavour. 
You can go nuts with the feedback. The 101-3 is really a classic 
weapon, you can't go wrong.

The A-125 sounds like the middle class stomp box phasers for guitarists 
like from electro harmonics or ibanez.

I don't know the A-101-3 in detail, but as far as I know (I am not 100% 
sure about this!) the Mutron had a kind of compression circuitry, which 
is not included in the A-101-3 and which might be simulated with 
additional modules.

Hi Florian, Jose

My personal uneducated guess would be that the main difference in 
sound character is caused by the type of vactrols used. Anyway, 
you can judge for yourself how much they can sound similar, 
sometime ago I uploaded an a/b doepfer/mu-tron shootout. It's not 
easy to tell which phaser does which part, or even where the 
switches from a to b are made
