Knife Drop is a sub-octave fuzz with analog-style synth effects pedal, co-designed from the twisted minds of Eventide Audio, Third Man Hardware, and Jack White. Knife Drop blends sub-octave fuzz with a monophonic synth, resurrecting your riffs with a sinister edge. Ideal for generating tones that chill and thrill, it delivers visceral, haunting distortion perfect for musicians who dare to push their sound to the extreme.
Classic Synth Tones, Crushing Distortion
More than just a fuzz pedal; Knife Drop crushes the three-way blend of your input signal, monophonic analog-stye 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.
