Eventide & Third Man Hardware Knife Drop - Sub Octave Fuzz, Analog Synth Terror

Knife Drop: A Descent into Sonic Insanity. "Where it's Aye! for an EYE!" Sub-Octave Fuzz slash Analog Synth Terror. In collaboration with Third Man Hardware & Eventide Audio.From the twisted minds at Third Man Hardware and the mad scientists at Eventide, comes Knife Drop, a pedal so maniacal, so drenched in sonic chaos, you’ll wonder if you’re dreaming... or already trapped in a nightmare.

This is no ordinary fuzz pedal. Born from the darkest depths of analog synthesis and
raised on a diet of pure voltage, Knife Drop unleashes earth-shaking sub-octave fuzz
and sinister analog synth tones. It’s the same bone-rattling distortion that has haunted
Jack White's legendary sound, now evolved into something even more terrifying.

Want to dabble in the dark arts? Summon the filter before your distortion glows green
with sonic menace, or bathe it in the blood-red glow of post-distortion mayhem.
Exclusive presets handcrafted with Jack White pulse with +6db of additional gain, each
one more terrifying than the last. Store your own creations alongside his, then unleash
them at will through an LED ladder to guide you through the darkest of nights.

Knives in a blender! An aggressive distortion crushes the three-way blend of input signal, monophonic analog-style synth and Footswitch-enabled Octaves. An ADSR-style envelope sweeps the cutoff frequency of a resonant lowpass filter with adjustable Attack, Resonance and Cutoff. Swap the filter position pre- or post-distortion to explore radically altered textures.

Not for the faint of heart, this pedal is for those who want to conjure walls of fuzz that sound like they're crawling out from the depths of a cursed VHS tape. Combining Jack White's unholy fascination with subversive tones and Eventide’s cutting-edge sonic sorcery, Knife Drop is the soundtrack to your own personal horror film. Plug in, turn up and cut loose the beast within.
Through its stereo outputs, this beast spreads its tendrils across your entire mix, while the
switchable guitar/line inputs ensure no signal is safe from its grasp. Express your darkest
musical urges through the expression pedal output, commanding multiple knobs like a
cosmic conductor of chaos.
