Dreadbox Typhon

is there factory reset available? could not find a way to reset my Typhon to the initital state. thx

Iirc every time you upgrade the firmware, the memory is reset.

Thank you. Will all settings be reset as well, not just the memory? Will give it a try anyway. My friend borrowed mine and I am lost in the mess he left in there :wink:

I think so, yes, which is why the updates asks you to backup first.

PWM Malevolent vs Dreadbox Typhon?

anyone try both? stimming made this thing look very appealing

Question: I know the line input on the Typhon is mono, but does anyone know if you connect a stereo signal to it it will sum both channels (L/R) to mono or just ignore one of the channels?

one channel will be ignored.
usually you will hear only left channel if you plug stereo jack into mono socket.


i dont have typhon yet though :drunk:

aw, that’s a shame, I wish it was stereo… but it’s still a brilliant FX box for my mixer’s FX send, which is mono anyway.

I think something like this would do the trick for stereo-to-mono summing

Nice, thanks for the tip!

Yeah I another option is just a mono summing cable
(Those adaptors make me nervous, worried I will snap it off with a heavy cable)

I recently got some of these on Amazon (1/4 but I bet they have 3.5 options too)
6 Ft Castline Gold 3.5mm TRS to 1/4" TS Mogami 2549 Stereo to Mono Summing Cable with Resistors https://a.co/d/goiA2SA

The Typhon is surprisingly good for spacey post-rock leads!

Thanks for listening! But the Quadraverb should get some credit for the Typhon sound too, it’s drenched in its “Taj Mahal” setting!

Ahahah the Typhon lead reminds me a lot of the vocoder in some Mogwai songs, thus the post-rock thingie! :grinning:

i just had a thought.
would you say that Typhon is modern equivalent of MS-20?

MS-20 is a synthesizer that i sometimes reminisce on.
really want to try Typhon, wonder if its going to evoke a similar emotion.

Typhon reminds me more a modern DSI Evolver.

OK, these new overlays for Typhon are pretty sweet:

Not a bad price either, IMHO:
