Analogue Solutions has introduced the Mr Hyde – the first in a new series of ‘synthBlocks’.
The synthBlocks are designed to be small tabletop effects processors, synthesizers and sequencers.
Mr Hyde is an analogue filter effects box, designed for subtle to extreme filtering and modulation effects.
Mr Hyde has 1/4” input and output jacks on the rear, so it can be connected straight to a mixer or DAW audio interface, without the need for adaptors.
On the top panel are mini jack sockets to patch with a semi-modular synth, such as AS’s very own Fusebox, or to Eurorack and other modular systems.
Mr Hyde can change the sound in subtle ways, such as nice sweeping filtering, right up to mangled FM mayhem.
Specifications:
- Multimode 12db analogue filter, featuring Low pass, High pass, Band pass, and Notch filters.
- Resonance with Boost feature to make it self oscillator.
- LFO with Triangle and Square wave signals.
- Range switch, to bring the modulation speed into audio frequencies.
- 1/4” and mini jack sockets for audio / CV input and output.
- Small compact desktop site format. Will fit into your palm!
Details on pricing and availability are to be announced. See the Analogue Solutions site for more info.

lovely format, can’t wait to see more of these
Yeah I agree, this is MY kind of modular! I’d love to know the actual dimensions. And power supply needs.
My only criticism is that it only has 12db filter. I really like a 6db filter. But basically it has been my dream to have a high pass and Lo pass filter a la MS20 that I can tweak on any device I like. I can’t really see if that’s possible on here. Look forward to price and detailed pics
My concern as well if I’m gonna buy a filter box I want it to self oscillate when desired
ok i wonder if they knew there is already a “Hyde” distortion filter box?

Johnathan Irish makes magnificent boxes.
Anyone know if it can use an expression foot pedal?
If your feet are your hands, then yes. Otherwise it probably would be unwise to step on this- compare where the Mr Hyde’s controls & connections are to dedicated guitar pedals. The layout on this is definitely best for desktop use.
