More than just a mono synth

For the Typhon, the analogue enthusiasts at Dreadbox joined forces with the FX specialists at Sinevibes to create a truly unique synthesiser. It combines fully analogue sound generation - with dual VCOs and a 24dB low-pass filter - alongside a versatile digital control section and a high-quality stereo effects engine, all packed into a compact, 1kg design. Powered by a standard USB power bank, it only needs a pair of headphones to become a fully portable production tool, ideal for working wherever inspiration strikes. But the Dreadbox Typhon is more than just a self-contained synth and sequencer - it also integrates seamlessly with mobile recording setups, adding dynamic effects processing (like bitcrushing, distortion, delay, and reverb) and rich analogue character.

Synthesis and signal processing

The Dreadbox Typhon's control interface gives equal prominence to both synthesis engine and effects. The two analogue VCOs can be blended via a single wave-morphing control, sweeping continuously between pulse, square, saw, triangle, and sine waveforms, while a dedicated knob provides quick access to FM and pulse-width modulation. Hardwired four-stage envelopes control filter cutoff and amplitude, while three additional modulators (LFO, envelope, random, or step sequencer) can be routed to multiple destinations simultaneously. On the right side, five faders, an encoder, and a bright OLED display provide hands-on control over effects, modulation, and the 32-step sequencer. The built-in DSP algorithms - developed by Sinevibes and expandable via firmware updates - can also process external audio, turning the unit into a sound processor. Presets (up to 256) can be saved, imported, and exported for easy sharing.

A different approach to sound design

The Dreadbox Typhon encourages sonic experimentation, blending classic analogue architecture with modern modulation and sequencing. Its two VCOs and resonant filter deliver everything from gritty basses to sharp leads, but the possibilities go further: Layered effects create dense textures and dynamic movement, while the built-in step sequencer adds probability and swing for rhythmic unpredictability. Filter FM and freely assignable modulators in turn enable sound-shaping techniques rarely found in compact synths. Whether crafting atmospheric textures with deep reverb tails, glitchy synth percussion, or experimental soundscapes, the Dreadbox Typhon will appeal to users who want to explore beyond traditional subtractive synthesis.

About Dreadbox

Dreadbox was founded in Athens in 2012 by two amateur musicians who initially designed and built their sound own effects units, and later moved on to synthesizers. They have so far produced a whole range of compact synthesizers, all named after characters from Greek mythology – among which figure the analog and duophonic "Erebus" and the semi-modular "Nyx". In future, the Dreadbox plans to develop in a more hybrid direction. Their range currently also includes synth modules, effect pedals, and DIY kits.

Standalone operation, endless possibilities

The Dreadbox Typhon's standalone operation isn't just about portability - it's about fostering creativity. Working in isolation with a single instrument encourages new ideas, letting users explore fresh combinations of synthesis, modulation, sequencing, and effects. Sounds created on the go can later be recalled in the studio or live, played manually or via MIDI DIN input or the onboard sequencer. With its performance-friendly controls and seamless DAW/hardware integration (via audio input and MIDI output), the Typhon is a versatile centrepiece for any mobile or studio setup.

Zeer vet klinkende synth

Vinzzz 08.06.2021

Lang verwacht, en toch gekregen. Het eerste wat opvalt is de klank van dit handzame doosje. Die is namelijk geweldig. De sweetspot is behoorlijk groot. De effecten zijn ok voor het geld, niet subliem. Ik gebruik hem met de Ventris, die op zich al bijna 1,5 keer meer kost dan de Typhon zelf. Het schermpje is niet groot, maar goed afleesbaar. De menustructuur is even wennen, maar over het algemeen goed uitgedacht. Daarvoor geef ik 4 ipv 5 sterren. De afwerking is erg goed en strak, Alleen mijn filter time knop liep ietsjes aan, maar als je hem een heel klein beetje omhoog trekt is dat geen probleem meer. Prijs/kwaliteit is fantastisch. Zodra je er mee aan de gang gaat verlies je jezelf snel in deze synth. De klank is echt subliem, en daarvoor geef ik de volle 5 sterren. Twijfel niet, bestellen dat ding!

Amazing little box!

mononism 26.02.2024

I've come to this review after having sold my Typhon for financial reasons.
I want another one.

Despite the often clunky interface, it is extremely versatile and easy to get the hang
of.
I have used it as an outboard effects unit. The FX are wicked!

Amazing synth but you can not use professionally

Juan Pérez Rodríguez 30.12.2025

This is an amazing synth, but somehow Dreadbox after building an amazing (and affordable) synth they do not provide power supply... And they let you using USB charging mobile that you have to find on your own... And this creates all kinds of weird feedbacks no matter what. (Even using the tricks Dreadbox give you, nothing works).
I used it only twice on stage, and horrible ground noises happened out of who knows what... Tried many things, nothing works, it is just not professional in that regard. So so sad. Please Dreadbox abandon this comercial behavior, it just do not work.

OK sound, fiddly interface

Hrks 11.11.2021

Had it for about 6 months now. Lacks more hands on control. Expected more punch in the sound. Value is good for a mono synth. Drone and lead/bass sounds are really good. Moog? No. Oberheim? No. A lot of tweaking? Yes. Unique? Yes. Style. Yes Value? Not for me.
I think there's way better things on the market for less or equal money, especially now the prices have gone up. Quality seems good for now.

Edit: Had it for almost 10 months now. Tought i was wrong maybe in regards the sound and UI, and overall feel. I wasn't. Sound gets weak when crowded with those 32 bit effects. It sounds thinny. The whole sound is more fragile in the end.

There are a few really warm analogue sounds in this one, others are cold/agressive/etheral one's. Wich is ok if you like it. I can do that with a digital synth also. It's still very durable tho and the synthwavey design is very nice! The knobs are very sturdy and the chasis feels unbrakeable.

Edit 2: I've sold it in the end and got myself a Roland Jd-Xi and i'm quite happy with it.
