Frequently Asked Questions

The 'SE' mainly signifies a slightly refined build and potentially minor component tweaks, but the core sound remains very similar to the original A-124-2.
While functional, the attenuator’s range might be limiting if you're aiming for very nuanced or extreme modulation depths – more advanced modulation control would require an external attenuverter.
Absolutely; the multiple outputs and input allow for interesting cascading possibilities, creating complex and evolving filter tones, though careful level matching will be required.
