Create the the most eye-wateringly distorted fuzz-octave sounds powered by monophonic synth sounds!

This diabolical fuzz pedal takes your tone on a nightmarish journey through crushing distortion and eerie synth tones. Created with the visual design by renowned artist Rob Jones, Knife Drop’s visceral appearance perfectly matches its aggressive sound. Whether you’re creating monstrous growls or supernatural melodies, Knife Drop is designed to haunt your sound. 

Key Features

  • Synth Mix – Blend monophonic synth sounds
  • Octaves Footswitch – Easily add or takeaway third-dimensional synth octave sound!
  • Express Yourself – Add an expression pedal to change sound groupings on the fly
  • Control with MIDI – Change presets with MIDI control.

Classic Synth Tones, Crushing Distortion

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.

Altered States

Press the LED Buttons above each Footswitch to alter filter and octave textures:

  • Green Active moves the filter pre-distortion
  • Red Active moves the filter post-distortion
  • Green Octaves adds an upper octave
  • Red Octaves adds upper and sub octaves

Add an Expression Pedal

Use an Expression Pedal to change any grouping of Knob Parameters in one smooth gesture. Easily program an Expression Pedal by setting end points for Heel and Toe. Here’s how:

1. Press Exp Pedal fully Heel down.

2. Adjust any combination of Knob Parameters to set the Heel values.

3. Press Exp Pedal fully Toe down.

4. Adjust any combination of Knob Parameters to set the Toe values.

5. Save it or lose it. See “Presets.

 

 

Brand

Eventide

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Eventide is represented by Multi-Effects Pedals, Overdrive Pedals and Pedal Power Supplies. Current listings include UltraTap Stompbox, H9 Harmonizer Gen 2 and H90 Harmonizer. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus modelling, direct rigs and multi-effects. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Octave Pedals

An octave effect generates notes one or more octaves above or below the input. Analogue circuits often create raw monophonic sub-octaves, while digital pitch tracking can follow chords and provide several intervals with cleaner separation. Tracking speed, polyphonic accuracy, latency and the balance of dry, upper and lower voices determine whether the result feels tight, organ-like, synthetic or deliberately unstable.

Tags

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Fuzz

Pushes the signal into extreme clipping, often approaching a square wave and producing dense harmonics. Transistor type, bias, input loading and filtering govern whether the texture is smooth, woolly, gated, spluttering, octave-rich or highly responsive to the instrument volume.

MIDI

Sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying the instrument audio itself. Program changes recall presets, continuous controllers move parameters, and MIDI clock or transport messages synchronise timing between devices.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.

Synth

Generates or reshapes the signal through oscillator, filter and envelope behaviour associated with synthesis. Tracking, envelope response, pitch range, polyphony and dry blend determine whether the generated voice follows the instrument as bass, lead, pad or abstract texture.
