Eventide Knife Drop

OVERVIEW

More than just a fuzz pedal; Knife Drop crushes the three-way blend of your input signal, monophonic analog-stye 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.

KEY FEATURES

• Synth Mix: Blend your input signal with a monophonic synth. Dial fully clockwise for pure synth horror, or counterclockwise for spine-chilling fuzz.
• Drive: Push the distortion to extreme levels, adding a layer of grit that intensifies past 2 o’clock, ensuring your tone is as dirty as a back-alley slasher flick.
• Output Level: From -12 to +9 dB, find the perfect balance of terror with 0 dB at 12 o’clock.
• Attack: Use the filter envelope to sweep from a fast, responsive attack to a long, creeping rise, (0 to 1000 ms); making your sound creep in like a killer in the dark.
• Resonance: Dial in the resonance of the low pass filter, making your notes resonate with an eerie, supernatural quality.
• Cutoff: Select the starting frequency for the filter envelope sweep, carving out your place in the sonic underworld.
• Alt LED Button: Hold this button momentarily to modify the secondary parameters.
• Active LED Button: Press to toggle filter position: Green = Filter pre-distortion, Red = Filter post-distortion, Off = Effect is bypassed.
• Octave LED Button: Press to toggle Octaves selection: Green = Upper octave only, Red = Upper + Sub Octaves, Off = Octaves Off.
• Active Foot Footswitch: Turns the effect On or Off
• Octaves Footswitch: Turns the Octaves On or Off
