"Retro Mechanical Labs Hyde/Electron Fuzz Custom Combo unit. This one is in an oiled walnut case, and I had RML add 1/4” I/O for the filter as well as the EFC and LFO out. It can be connected with either the standard Eurorack 1/8” or the 1/4” on the back. It’s a beautiful thing, works perfectly and was purchased new direct from Retro Mechanical Labs."

Retro Mechanical Labs: Beauty Through Pain

video upload by Richard DeHove

"This is a bit rough and I clearly don't know the controls too well. But I'm sure you know the excitement of getting a new bit of gear and hearing things fall out of it even though you're just fumbling about? It seemed a shame to let that pass by, so here it is: early days with the 'Retro Mechanical Labs Hyde Distortion Filter and Electron Fuzz Custom CV Combo' - and yes, that's its actual name. The DB-01 output is split with one side going into the filter and the other into the fuzz. Left and right then go into separate sides of the Boss RV-6 reverb pedal. There's some limiting to avoid bad surprises but otherwise the audio is raw. That means there's some clicks, pops, squeals and grinding. I hope you find as much beauty in this raw mess of pain as I did.

Retro Mechanical Labs Jekyll N Hyde Dual Filter w/ Synthesizer

video upload by alternatingbitmusic

"Demonstration of how this box doesn't have to be used as a distorted, noise-laden resonant screecher. Bypassing the MiniBrute's Steiner-Parker to use a transistor ladder filter instead, offering Moog-ish warm & creamy vibes."

Retro Mechanical Labs Electron Fuzz Custom CV Euro Pedal for Eurorack Modular

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Published on Nov 12, 2016

"This is a rather amateurial filmed review of the Retro Mechanical Labs Electron Fuzz Custom CV Euro Pedal for Eurorack Modular Review - as reviewed by a guy who never did a review. So please don't be too harsh with your criticism.

Intro blabbering 00:10
Mirrored knobs and naming brutality 04:43
Sinewave distortion 07:18
Using cv for pain, hurt and fb osc 09:53
Destroying a sequence 13:59
Mangling drums 18:15

Control voltage distortion fuzz pedal with 4 CV inputs and lots of sexy character. Best used with Eurorack modular synthesizers or any other piece of analog synth that has control voltage capabilities (f.e. Moog Sub 37, Electron Analog 4, etc.). Pricing 349,- USD, needs an additional external 9 volt DC power supply (negative tip).

Some additional info I got from Jonathan Irish / RML concerning the functions:

'The 'cut' toggle removes the sub low end frequencies.'

'The knob under the feedback OSC knob is an input attenuation knob. Its marked with -Z and +Z. As you turn it to the right it will add resistance and reduce the amount of signal going into the distortion circuit.'

'As for the OSC Noise: Its pitch can be controlled by the Hurt/Pain CVs while in self oscillation. Sending in CV to the Hurt/Pain or OSC noise you can make it play notes. Nothing exact as 1 volt per octave, but still fun.'"

Retro Mechanical Labs Hyde Distortion Filter Eurorack Version

Published on Apr 4, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Some drones, distortions and squeaks from the Retro Mechanical Labs Hyde Distortion Filter. The Hyde has the Make Noise 0-Coast as its input and is also under CV control from the 0-Coast as well as its internal LFO.

The Hyde Distortion Filter, from Retro Mechanical Labs, has now been equipped with 3.5mm jacks for ease of use with Eurorack modular synthesizers. It is a standalone desktop unit meant to be patched to all sorts of other gear using 3.5mm jacks. This euro version incorporates five difference CV inputs to control almost any knob in the filter. Each CV input has a corresponding LED for visual feedback of the signal patched in. The Hyde Distortion filter is perfect for creating dark textures and soundscapes. Tune the resonant feedback to match your harmonic droning or wall of noise. Use two boxes to create deep stereo textures.

Retro Mechanical Labs Electron Fuzz Eurorack Version Distorting Drums

Published on Apr 4, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Running eurorack drums through the Retro Mechanical Labs Electron Fuzz with eurorack compatible 3.5mm CV input jacks. The Electron Fuzz is especially good at generating screams above your drums with the feedback oscillation. This patch uses envelopes from the Galilean Moons and then an LFO from Peaks to modulate different setting on the Electron pedal. The drums pattern is created by the Noise Engineering Numeric Repetitor, and the sounds are from the Leploop Cassa, Audio Damage Boomtschak, and SSF Quantum Rainbow through the Hexinverter Galilean Moons.

The ever popular Electron Fuzz Custom has now been adapted with 3.5mm CV inputs for use with Eurorack synthesizers. The size has been slightly scaled down, to work more efficiently on a desktop. It provides CV control over the Hurt, Pain, Feedback Osc, and Distortion out. This beefy distortion can now have even more versatility with its interfacing with modulation signals and Eurorack sound sources."
