Dreadbox Hades monosynth coming soon
3-voice analogue bass synthesizer revealed

Dreadbox, maker of the Erebus paraphonic synth, has announced a new bass synthesizer called Hades.

- Full analogue circuitry
- 1x VCO with 2 sub octave oscillators (3 voices in total)
- Pulse width and glide controls
- 3-pole 18dB/oct resonating low pass filter
- OTA distortion circuit for extreme sounds
- OTA based VCA
- 2 envelope generators
- Triangle wave LFO
- 8 point patch matrix eurorack compatible
- 5 MIDI octaves from C0 up to C5 or unlimited via CV/Gate
We're not sure of a release date just yet, but Dreadbox has already suggested a retail price of $299. For more information check out the Hades web page.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
