•••Euro Rack Pedal only! Sorry guitar people this pedal only has 1/8th inch jacks. All jacks are on the top side/face of the pedal. It is intended to connect to your euro rack system or line level instruments.
The Hyde Distortion Filter by RMLfx (Retro Mechanical Labs) is taken directly from the Jekyll n Hyde Dual filter box and cast into a durable aluminum pedal enclosure. This is a distortion box with an active Low Pass (Diode Ladder) Filter and enhanced resonant feedback. A very slow drifting LFO modulates the filter frequency.
2.0 has a bunch more CV flexibility.
- An inverted LPF control. Send a positive saw tooth wave and the response will be in reverse.
- Resonance control for those deep clamped down filter harmonics.
- A low cut (HPF) to sweep out the low end for creative mixing and layering.
- Mid range distortion enhancement. Makes the distortion more dominating.
- Each new CV has a corresponding responsive LED.
I’ve also added a distortion bypass toggle to provide an alternative clean input to the filter.
“Active” LED is responsive to input signal. Active LED is bypassed when clean input is enabled.
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. Turn a synth with no personality into a monster.
Here is a great demo from the Nevermore Audio YouTube channel. The video shows the same circuit as the Hyde Distortion Filter 2.0 sold here. The 2.0 adds a few extra CV options.
“An analog, handmade, beautiful, fantastic sounding, fat, gnarly, aggressive filter distortion unit that is fantastic at all of those things.”

Things I enjoy about this pedal:
- The sound of the filter! Smooth and dark.
- The distortion is not high gain. Works well with noisy synths.
- Enhanced resonant feedback for more expressive tones
- Small compact size
- Pre-filter distortion and Post overdrive for gain recovery
- Post germanium clipping/saturation
- CV filter control, use modular gear to ….modulate!
- Slow drifting LFO modulation keeps an otherwise stagnant signal alive.
- True Bypass
The “Active” LED responds to signal input as you feed sound into it.
