Analogue Solutions Mr Hyde & Doctor Strangelove

soundonsound.com

Analogue Solutions' Dr. Strangelove synthBlock presents a quirky yet appealing package for analog enthusiasts. This ring modulator and lo-fi echo unit shines with its build quality and vintage-inspired sound. While it offers compelling modulation effects, its lack of bypass switches and mix controls detract from its standalone flexibility. The hand-built nature adds to its charm but also bumps up the price, which might deter some potential buyers. Nevertheless, if you're after unique, experimental sounds and enjoy integrating boutique gear into a modular setup, Dr. Strangelove is worth a look.

Analogue Solutions Dr Strangelove review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Analogue Solutions' Dr. Strangelove synthBlock offers a solid build and combines two useful processors—ring modulation and lo-fi digital echo—in one unit. While the sound processing can be transformative, the device lacks flexibility due to the absence of a ring modulator mix control and CV control for echo time modulation. This leaves users without the ability to balance the processed sound with the input signal. Despite these limitations, it remains a practical tool for those seeking unique effects, though it could benefit from further enhancements to fully capitalize on its potential.
