The A-147-2 is a seriously cool, characterful LFO for creating those weird, evolving textures that make modular systems sing. It's a classic for a reason – the delayed LFO feature is genuinely unique, and the vintage black panel looks fantastic. Perfect for experimental sound designers and anyone wanting a distinctive, vintage vibe.
Product Description

- Vintage Edition with black front panel
- Width: 8 HP
- Depth: 55mm mm
- Power requirement: +60mA mA (+12V) / -40mA (-12V)
PROS
- • Vintage black panel adds a classic, understated aesthetic.
- • Unique delayed LFO functionality creates complex, evolving textures.
- • Compact 8HP footprint ideal for space-constrained modular systems.
- • Robust Doepfer build quality ensures long-term reliability.
CONS
- • Limited waveform options compared to modern, multi-waveform LFOs.
- • Single delay/attack parameter can feel restrictive for precise control.
- • Power draw is moderate, consider your PSU’s capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
The delayed LFO creates a 'smearing' effect by introducing a voltage-controlled delay, resulting in a more complex and evolving signal, unlike a standard LFO's consistent output.
Absolutely, it can add a metallic, harmonically rich quality to oscillators or other signals, useful for percussive sounds or adding a unique timbre.
Like any vintage electronics, components can drift over time, but Doepfer modules are generally very well-built; occasional calibration might be needed for precise timing.
