Ever since the Theremin's eerie wail haunted 1920s concert halls, it's inspired sci-fi soundtracks and experimental jams, and now Dubreq has shrunk that magic into a pocket-sized powerhouse you can wave your hand at anywhere.
This analog monophonic synth packs two oscillators—one driven by the classic pitch antenna for fluid glides, the other by a precise lower slider with octave switch, note markings, and trigger button for tapping exact pitches or whale-like sweeps. Switch between sine and square waveforms, layer in drone mode for endless sustains, or dial up effects like metallic modulation, wobbly vibrato, and a generous analog delay with time, mix, and feedback knobs. Controls feel solid with good resistance on the rotaries, and sensitivity tweak keeps it stable even in tricky rooms; it's got a built-in speaker, 1/4-inch line out, 3.5mm headphone jack, and mic stand threading for stage use. Battery-powered by six AA cells, it measures a compact 215 x 166 x 160 mm and weighs just 0.9 kg, with rubber grips for tabletop play.
Players love its quirky accessibility—no full Theremin mastery needed thanks to the slider fallback—and praise the instant experimental sounds for live improv or portable fun, though some note the initial antenna calibration takes a quick minute to nail.
