Third Man Hardware and Eventide's 'Knife Drop Pedal' Lets You Explore Sound

— November 5, 2024 — Tech
Third Man Hardware has just launched the 'Knife Drop,' a collaboration with Eventide that combines aggressive octave fuzz with powerful analog synth tones. Created with presets from Jack White, this effects pedal brings a fresh level of innovation to any setup and is now available at Third Man Records stores. Fans can also pre-order it via Third Man's website in the U.S. or through Eventide's distributors internationally.

In addition, a limited edition yellow version is exclusively offered on Third Man Hardware's Reverb storefront, adding an extra collector's appeal for enthusiasts.

According to Eventide’s CTO Russell Wedelich, the project was a creative journey that went beyond typical design, capturing the essence of rock and roll. Third Man Hardware’s Dan Mancini echoed the excitement, sharing that the collaboration led to "amazing sonic possibilities" they can’t wait for users to experience.
