Eventide KnifeDrop Sub-Octave Fuzz

Knife Drop: A Descent into Sonic Insanity

"Where it's Aye! for an EYE!"

From the twisted minds at Third Man Hardware and the sonic alchemists at Eventide Audio comes Knife Drop—a pedal so maniacal and drenched in chaos, you’ll question whether you’re dreaming or trapped in a nightmare.

This is no ordinary fuzz pedal. Knife Drop merges the darkest depths of analog synthesis with earth-shaking sub-octave fuzz and analog synth terror. Inspired by Jack White's legendary distortion, it evolves into something even more sinister, bringing bone-rattling tones to a whole new level.

Features That Will Stalk Your Dreams

• Synth Mix: Blend your guitar signal with a monophonic synth. Turn clockwise for synth tones or counterclockwise for filtered fuzz.
• Switchable Octaves: Activate upper and sub octaves with the Octaves LED button or disengage via the secondary footswitch.
• Drive Amount: Dial in versatile distortion. Turn past 2 o’clock for an aggressive tone that cuts through any mix.
• Output Level: Precise volume control ranging from -12 dB to +9 dB. Set to 0 dB at noon for optimal performance.
• Filter Routing: Green LED sets the filter pre-distortion for precision; red LED delivers post-distortion crunch.
• Filter Envelope Attack Time: Adjust attack from 0 to 1000 ms for instantaneous or gradual filter onset. At 0 ms, manually sweep the cutoff for tonal shaping.
• Filter Resonance: Fine-tune filter depth to create attention-grabbing tones.
• Cutoff Frequency: Define where the envelope sweep begins for precise control.
• Secondary LED Button: Press and hold for deeper customization and additional parameters.
• Preset LED Ladder: Navigate settings with ease to ensure performance precision.
• Expression Pedal Control: Assign multiple knob parameters to an expression pedal for smooth, dynamic control.
• Mono/Stereo I/O: Accepts both mono and stereo inputs via TRS and outputs a full stereo spread.
• Signal Flexibility: Switch between guitar and line-level inputs for full compatibility with any sound source.
• Compatible with H90 Control: Perform updates, tweak system settings, and create/save presets in real-time.

Summon the Chaos

Knives in a blender. The Knife Drop combines aggressive distortion with a three-way blend of input signal, monophonic synth, and footswitch-enabled octaves. Shape your sound further with an ADSR-style envelope, lowpass filter, adjustable attack, resonance, and cutoff frequency. Place the filter pre- or post-distortion to radically transform textures.

Not for the faint of heart, this pedal is for those who dare to unleash walls of fuzz that sound like they’re crawling from a cursed VHS tape. Combining Jack White's fascination with subversive tones and Eventide's sonic mastery, Knife Drop is the soundtrack to your personal horror film.
