Technical details of the Eventide Knife Drop effects pedal

The Eventide Knife Drop effect pedal offers a unique triple mix that combines the classic fuzz signal with an analog-style synthesizer and an octave effect. The signal mix, which can be switched on and off via the footswitch, creates a sonic texture that seems to come straight out of a dark soundtrack. The ADSR-like envelope controls the cutoff frequency of a low-pass filter and allows precise adjustment of the sound character. Adjustable parameters such as attack, resonance and cutoff open up a new level of sound control for guitarists and make the pedal particularly versatile.

In addition, the pedal features two footswitches: the "Active" switch activates or deactivates the effect, while the "Octaves" switch turns the octaves on or off, allowing for dramatic and dynamic sound changes. With an output level that varies between -12 dB and +9 dB and an additional gain of +6 dB, users can choose to boost or attenuate the signal to perfectly match their sound requirements.

A pedal for experimenters and sound magicians

The Knife Drop invites musicians to unleash their own creativity and explore the dark soundscapes of the fuzz. Exclusive presets created in collaboration with Jack White offer an instant way to experience sonic chaos. The pedal's LED bar is not only a visual highlight, but serves as a guide through the darkest layers of sound - from a pulsating fuzz with a slight distortion touch to extreme, "distorted" synth sounds that fit ideally into alternative and experimental music.

The Knife Drop is not an effects pedal for the faint of heart; it is designed for those who are ready to encounter the full walls of fuzz that seem to come from the dark depths of a cursed VHS tape. The Knife Drop immerses you in a distinctive sonic universe where your fuzz and synth sounds blend into an overall experience, offering the potential to turn live and studio recordings into an unparalleled listening experience.

Ease of use and design

With compact dimensions of 10.8 x 10.2 x 4.3 cm and a weight of just 0.48 kg, the Eventide Knife Drop fits easily into any pedalboard and is ideal for musicians who don't want to do without their effects pedal when they're on the move. The high-quality workmanship and solid housing protect the pedal from the rigors of touring and intensive use. The additional gain of +6 dB and the ability to switch between octave and fuzz sounds make the Knife Drop a versatile tool that is perfect for a variety of musical genres.
