“A commanding new effects pedal that merges aggressive octave fuzz with earth-shaking analogue synth tones”: Third Man Hardware joins forces with Eventide for the Knife Drop – featuring Jack White’s presets, it’s designed for “sonic chaos”

Eventide x Third Man Hardware Knife Drop.

Jack White’s Third Man Hardware has teamed up with Eventide Audio for the Knife Edge, an octave fuzz pedal augmented with “earth-shaking analog synth tones” that ships with presets designed by the former White Stripes frontman.

Eventide Audio’s tone notes promise “bone-rattling distortion and generous heaps of sonic chaos” but you probably figured that out already – an octave fuzz plus analogue synth, this is not a subtle, always-on tone sweetener. This is your pedalboard’s nuclear option, and as Russell Wedelich, CTO, Eventide Audio, admits, this was a radical project that took the audio processing specialists out of their comfort zone.
