A Fusion of Fuzz And Synthesis

Eventide, in collaboration with Third Man Hardware announces Knife Drop, which they describe as a commanding new effects pedal that merges aggressive octave fuzz with earth-shaking analog synth tones. They say that it's a powerful device that features presets developed in collaboration with Jack White himself -- resulting in bone-rattling distortion and generous heaps of sonic chaos. Here's the press release from the two companies...

Born from the collaborative vision of two pioneering forces in music technology, Knife Drop opens a new chapter in effects processing. The pedal combines Eventide's decades of digital audio mastery with Third Man Hardware's innovative vision, resulting in a product that's as intuitive as it is deep, as fresh as it is familiar.

"The Third Man crew have amazing product design instincts and we learned so much throughout our collaboration. It didn't feel like work, it felt like Rock 'n Roll." --Russell Wedelich, Eventide Audio CTO

"Collaborating with Eventide on the Knife Drop has been an inspiring and exciting experience that expanded into some amazing sonic possibilities.  We're so excited to get the Knife Drop into people's hands, to make their own sounds and feel the same excitement we had." -- Dan Mancini, Third Man Hardware.
