It features a VCO with two sub octaves, two waveforms with PW control, a 3-pole resonating low-pass filter, AD/RS envelope generator and wide-range triangle wave LFO, among others. Its powerful bass boost circuit make the Hades a formidable bass machine. With USB power, it offers convenient portability and energy efficiency.
