Eventide announces KnifeDrop
Eventide announces a new pedal called “Knife Drop,” a Fuzz Octave Pedal with Monophonic Synth, a collaboration between the twisted minds of Eventide Audio, Third Man Hardware, and Jack White. This diabolical fuzz pedal takes your tone on a nightmarish journey through crushing distortion and eerie synth tones. Created with the visual design by renowned artist Rob Jones, Knife Drop’s visceral appearance perfectly matches its aggressive sound. Whether you’re creating monstrous growls or supernatural melodies, Knife Drop is designed to haunt your sound. The KnifeDrop will be shipping in October 2024.
Features That Will Stalk Your Dreams
- Jack White Presets: Every preset is crafted by the legend himself and juiced to +6dB for maximum impact. It’s as explosive as Jack’s live performances.
- Synth Mix: Blend your guitar signal with an ominous, monophonic synth. Turn the dial clockwise to dive into a synth-drenched abyss, or counterclockwise for filtered fuzz terror.
- Drive Amount: Push your distortion into new realms of madness. Turn past two o’clock for a snarling, gritty tone that cuts through the mix like a back-alley slasher.
- Output Level: Control the sonic onslaught with a range from -12 to +9 dB. Set to 0 dB at noon and the seance begins.
- Filter Envelope Attack Time: Adjust the attack from 0 to 1000 ms, allowing you to creep in like a shadow or strike fast like a blade in the dark. At 0 ms, manually sweep the cutoff to slice your signal as you see fit.
- Filter Resonance: Dial in eerie, spine-tingling resonance that makes your notes howl from the beyond.
- Cutoff Frequency: Choose where your envelope sweep begins, cutting through the haze to carve out your space in the sonic abyss.
- Secondary LED Button: Press and hold to access the hidden layers of horror. Behind this door lies the true terror of untamed parameters.
- Switchable Octave Madness: Set the tone of your haunting with the Octaves LED Button, which activates the upper and sub octaves. Disengage them entirely with the secondary octaves footswitch.
- Preset LED Ladder: Easily navigate your settings and remain one step ahead of the killer.
