Must have
Fantastically rough sounding filter. Youtube reviews don't do it justice. It really adds an organic liveliness to any sound you send through it.
Build quality is Doepfer: solid.

Interesting filter for modular synth
This filter has quickly become one of my favourite in my modular synth rig. The sounds it is capable of shaping are quite unique, and it works well with other filters I already have.
I have a good number of Doepfer modules, and Like all of them it installs simply and works, though I try not to look to closely at some of the soldering work, Doepfer clearly have good quality control and the unit arrived in Australia working perfectly - Thomann's overseas packing and shipping is generally excellent.
This filter would bring out some wonderful sounds from any modular synth rack, adding some unique sounds to your palate.

A Crazy Beast that can be a Filter.
The wasp filter is an oddball, drive it to hard and the signal bleeds through, turn the resonance up too high and it wobbles and warbles all over the place but this is exactly what it is good for, adding some random oddness and colour.
Trimming the input signal and the resonance level makes it behave more predictably and makes it more of a sound sculptor (traditional filter) but it still has an almost melting metal like quality to its sound, quite "acid" I guess. When using it with the more subtle settings or with the high/low mixed, a little extra gain on the output helps it sit right against other modular signals.
If you feed the bandpass output back to the input you can get the resonance to really scream and self resonate.
The dials are all really solid, feeling and the construction feels built to last.
Anyway, I love it.

Wasp filter
Nice, simple, filter but with plenty of attitude. One of my first buys but also one of the best and now most used modules I own. It can howl when you want it to, and it's instability is it's beauty. Highly recommended. And delivery from the Thomann team was excellent 3 days from order to delivery, don't worry that they are in Germany it's meant they have a slick ordering/delivery process.
