Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The A-118-2 VE is a solid, no-frills noise generator – a real workhorse for anyone building a foundational Eurorack system. It's great for creating evolving textures, drones, or sequencing random voltage, and that vintage black panel gives it a cool, understated look. Perfect for experimental sound designers and those needing a reliable, compact noise source.

PROS
- • Classic Doepfer build quality: robust, reliable, and feels substantial.
- • Versatile noise palette: red, blue, and white noise offer diverse textures.
- • Track/Hold and Sample/Hold options expand creative possibilities significantly.
- • Compact 4U format integrates seamlessly into most Eurorack systems.
CONS
- • Limited noise shaping beyond basic color mixing; lacks complex filtering.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's fairly standard for Doepfer; predictable and useful for basic sequencing, but not as sophisticated as some newer, higher-end random voltage generators.
It's primarily aesthetic – the circuit is identical to the standard A-118-2, offering the same sonic characteristics and functionality.
Absolutely, the output is a standard 0-5V range, easily controllable with the level pot and suitable for modulating oscillators, filters, or other voltage-controlled devices.
