Third Man Hardware, in partnership with Donner Music, have announced the Triple Threat, a 3-in-1 analog multi-effects pedal. Designed by Third Man Hardware and manufactured by Donner, the pedal includes Echo, Phaser and Distortion modes, and will be available exclusively via Third Man Hardware for the next three months.

In the USA, the limited yellow edition, priced at $129, will only be available at Third Man’s Reverb storefront, along with the standard black edition. The standard black version, priced at $99, will be available exclusively on the Third Man webstore. In the UK, the yellow limited edition and standard black will both be available via the Third Man website.

Additionally, Third Man Hardware has announced the Fuzz-a-Tron, a basic no-fail DIY guitar pedal kit.

They say:

This kit was designed with the beginner in mind, to give someone with little or no soldering experience the chance to succeed at building a classic sounding fuzz pedal. With an easy to follow and in depth build manual, this kit will teach entry level soldering and electronics skills.

The Fuzz-a-Tron is available for pre-order now via the Third Man website, and will retail for $75. 

You can find Third Man Hardware at the NAMM Show at Booth #4948 to learn more and demo both pedals. Guests will have the opportunity to enter a drawing to win a fully soldered Fuzz-a-Tron, as well as watch some of Third Man’s in-house engineers solder units in real time.

Jack White says about Triple Threat:

It has been my hope for a while to make an affordable pedal for beginning musicians. When I approached Donner they knew what I was aiming for and we were able to make something very cool that was also not going to break the bank for a beginning musician.

All three effects: the distortion, phaser and echo are all heavy duty. I was very impressed with them the first time I plugged into the prototype version that Donner had sent. This set of effects is for all kinds of music, all genres. Maybe not opera though. The Triple Threat will fit very comfortably on my pedal board.

Third Man Hardware designed the external appearance of The Triple Threat, adding its signature patterns such as lightning bolts from the Tesla tower on the panel, three sharp stripes in front and  the signature diagrams from Third Man Hardware’s logo on both sides of the pedal.
