Retro Mechanical Labs Dual Hyde Distortion Filter engulfs you with quite characterful distortion and extensive CV control. Two Hyde units wrapped in one stable Aluminum case.

The Rotary Patch Box from Retro Mechanical Labs brings order to chaos and lets you easily route signals.

Retro Mechanical Labs Hyde Distortion Filter Pedal engulfs you with quite characterful distortion and extensive CV control. Wrapped in a beatiful wooden casing with illuminated VU-meter.

For hard-boiled musicians only! – The Dual Electron Fuzz Custom CV Combo, in short Dual EFCCV, is a powerful, creatively usable effect pedal for synthesizers, drum-computers and modular systems. The circuit dishes out fierce distortion, which can be shaped in an almost abstract way via chaotic tone controls and a feedback section. In addition to crisp fuzz effects, sound colorations similar to modulation effects or a bit crusher can be achieved. CV inputs not only allow you to rhythmically increase or decrease the amount of distortion, but also to create a multitude of surprising analog glitches.

The Hyde EFCCV Combo is composed of the Hyde Distortion Filter, a beefy diode ladder filter and the Electron Fuzz Custom CV, a crunchy distortion circuit with CV inputs.

For hard-boiled musicians only! – The Electron Fuzz Custom, in short EFC, is a powerful, creatively usable effect pedal for synthesizers, drum-computers and modular systems. The unit dishes out fierce distortion, which can be shaped in an almost abstract way via chaotic tone controls and a feedback section. In addition to crisp fuzz effects, sound colorations similar to modulation effects or a bit crusher can be achieved. This version has 1/4 jack audio connectors, but no CV inputs.

In need of an angry Fuzz effect? - Retro Mechanical Labs has just the thing for you! This FX pedal is based around a NOS Soviet capacitor. This give it a very authentic and unique character. It uses also two special wire wound thimble resistors in the the input and output paths. Thanks to old stock antique VU meters, it looks and feel very vintage but delivers a modern sound!

The 432k REV2 consists of a hybrid diode and transistor ladder filter, which is glued together with the unprocessed signal by a transistor overdrive, and then chased through an op amp fuzz. And at the end of the chain: A simple noise feedback circuit. And a big knob to adjust the often hefty output volume.

Using the GPI, you can integrate effect pedals into your modular setup. The circuit features adjustable attenuators for lowering audio levels coming from the Eurorack system. After signals are processed by the connected pedal, you can reintroduce them to the GPI and therefore to the modular world. Thanks to the GPI’s two-channel design, the module is not only suitable for mono stomp boxes, but also stereo effects such as a delay or reverb. Synthesizers, drum computers and so forth can be connected as well.

Hyde is a dark sounding filter box with tons of distortion. Yet, the little box always delivers musical results. Hyde is composed of a distortion circuit, a resonant diode ladder filter, an overdrive and a saturation stage. For modulations, there is a LFO plus a total of five CV inputs. Hyde’s sound is simply gorgeous: Dark, mysterious and flattering at the same time.
