hello pierre,
i have ther AS comb filtrer module but i don't use it
very often. i wouldn't say that i like it very much.
but, i use more often the AS rs500e ems diode filter.

regardles of that, i think that you should buy in the
future, the a108, a107 and a106 filters. all these are
awesome in their own way! these modules will be useful
in any electronic music type you make, in my opinion.
bakis.
