Eventide Knife Drop Fuzz and Octave Pedal

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
A pedal that merges fuzz with synth-like textures, Eventide's Knife Drop offers switchable octaves and a blendable synth mix for unique, cutting-edge sounds.

From the twisted minds at Third Man Hardware and the mad scientists at Eventide, comes Knife Drop--a pedal so maniacal, so drenched in sonic chaos, you'll wonder if you're dreaming... or already trapped in a nightmare.

Features:

- Jack White Signature Presets: Exclusive presets crafted by the legend himself and boosted to +6dB for maximum impact and presence.
- Synth Mix: Blend your guitar signal with a monophonic synth. Adjust the dial clockwise for synth tones, or counterclockwise for filtered fuzz.
- Switchable Octaves: Activate the upper and sub octaves with the Octaves LED Button. Or disengage them entirely with the secondary octaves footswitch.
- Drive Amount: Versatile distortion. Turn past two o'clock for an aggressive tone that cuts through the mix.
- Output Level: Precise volume control ranging from -12 to +9 dB. Set to 0 dB at noon for the optimal performance.
- Filter Routing: The green LED sets filter pre-distortion for precision, while red LED offers post-distortion crunch.
- Filter Envelope Attack Time: Adjust the attack from 0 to 1000 ms, allowing for instantaneous or gradual filter onset. At 0 ms, manually sweep the cutoff for custom tonal shaping.
- Filter Resonance: Fine-tune filter depth for unique, attention-grabbing tones.
- Cutoff Frequency: Choose where your envelope sweep begins, offering precise tonal control.
- Secondary LED Button: Press and hold to access additional parameters for deeper sonic customization.
- Preset LED Ladder: Easily read more navigate your settings to ensure your performance is airtight.
- Expression Pedal Control: Take control over any combination of knob parameters with one smooth gesture.
- Mono/Stereo I/O: A TRS input accepts both mono and stereo signals, while dual outputs spread your signal across the full sonic spectrum.
- Signal Flexibility: Switch between guitar and line-level inputs to ensure no sound source escapes transformation.
- Compatible with H90 Control: Perform software updates, access system settings and create/save presets in real-time.

This is no ordinary fuzz pedal. Born from the darkest depths of analog synthesis and raised on a diet of pure voltage, Knife Drop unleashes earth-shaking sub-octave fuzz and sinister analog synth tones. It's the same bone-rattling distortion that has haunted Jack White's legendary sound, now evolved into something even more terrifying.

Want to dabble in the dark arts? Summon the filter before your distortion glows green with sonic menace, or bathe it in the blood-red glow of post-distortion mayhem. Exclusive presets handcrafted with Jack White pulse with +6db of additional gain, each one more terrifying than the last. Store your own creations alongside his, then unleash them at will through an LED ladder to guide you through the darkest of nights.

Knives in a blender! An aggressive distortion crushes the three-way blend of input signal, monophonic analog-style 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.

Not for the faint of heart, this pedal is for those who want to conjure walls of fuzz that sound like they're crawling out from the depths of a cursed VHS tape. Combining Jack White's unholy fascination with subversive tones and Eventide's cutting-edge sonic sorcery, Knife Drop is the soundtrack to your own personal horror film. Plug in, turn up, and cut loose the beast within.

Through its stereo outputs, this beast spreads its tendrils across your entire mix, while the switchable guitar/line inputs ensure no signal is safe from its grasp. Express your darkest musical urges through the expression pedal output, commanding multiple knobs like a cosmic conductor of chaos.
