My Modular Journey - Season 3: Episode 9 (A-124 WASP)

Described as "a 'special' 12dB multimode filter", the Doepfer WASP finds it's origins in the late 1970s synthesizer "the EDP WASP", designed by Chris Huggett and Adrian Wagner of Electronic Dream Plant (EDP) in the UK.

The WASP filter turns out to be everything I had hoped for (and more!) for a low $105 price tag. Sure, it is not feature-rich, but the sound! OH, the SOUND! Filters are truly my favorite thing in all of Eurorack, and I have been fortunate to have picked - so far - truly amazing modules that make truly amazing sounds.
