the vactrol phaser: a 21st century classic

2005-09-26 by freq_divider

Hi everybody,

Just want to let you know that the a-101-3 is a great machine. Not only 
do you get a module with 38 jack ins and outs (probably the current 
world record) but you even get a 21st century mutron biphase. They can 
be made to sound almost the same, although that takes some eq-ing. The 
a-101 has less bass output and reaches much higher, but the character 
of the sweep/feedback is as close to the mu-tron as you can get without 
being identical (if thats what you want it to do, the 101-3 can do much 
more). You can't go wrong with this one if you are into phasers.

Hi,

In my first post I said the A-101-3 produces less bass than the mutron. 
This is only true if the polarisers are turned ccw. If they are turned 
cw the A-101-3 actually sounds Much Heavier. 

If you want to hear a phaser shootout go here:

The A-101-3 has been eq'ed to sound more 'vintage'

yes, indeed! it is an amazing modular phaser module
with crazy creative capabilities and i use it all the
time in my tracks.

That's because of the LP or HP behaviour at the bottom/top end of the
frequency range. It depends upon the number of stages used and the
positive/negative polarizer setting.

For details look at the frequency responce pictures on our web site (the
first black/green ones on the A-101-3 info page). If an even number of
stages (12, 10, 8, ...) is used the behaviour (LP or HP) is the same at the
bottom/top end of the frequency range. If an odd number of stages (11, 9, 7,
...) is used the behaviour (LP or HP) is different for the bottom and top
end of the frequency range.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer

Thanks!

And there's a lot more to find out I'm sure, I have only played the a-
101-3 for a few hours now, but I was just blown away by the way it 
can mimick a mutron. You should put it in the user examples  :-)) 

Greetings

Anton
