It may seem identical. But believe me they are 2 completly different beasts.
The 120 is an extremely polite moog style filter. (I own it but don't really
like it, bought it very cheap 2nd hand)The politeness is accentuated by the
fact that my 120 has a very low output level compared to the other Doepfer
filters I own. --Question to others: is that also with your A120 filters --
(If you want a moog style filter I defiantely recommend the A108, again,
can't stress it too much)

The 102 comes quite close to the EMS VCS3 filter. Dirt galore to the max!
To say that it is more drastic is a bit of an understatement. ;-)
