Designed in collaboration with Jack White and Third Man Hardware, the Donner Triple Threat is a fully analog multi-effects pedal built for bold, expressive tone. Combining distortion, phaser and echo in a single streamlined unit, this collaboration delivers raw character and hands-on control inspired by Third Man’s distinctive sonic aesthetic. From gritty garage rock drive to swirling modulation and vintage-style echoes, the Triple Threat offers a versatile analog platform shaped by one of modern rock’s most recognizable creative voices.
Three Analog Effects Inspired by Classic Tone
The Triple Threat combines three analog circuits tuned to Jack White’s specifications for dynamic, expressive sound. The distortion section delivers wide-ranging gain—from crunchy breakup to aggressive high-gain tones—with volume, gain and tone controls for precise shaping. The phaser, upgraded from Donner’s Pearl Tremor design, adds movement and texture with adjustable level, rate and depth. Completing the signal chain, the echo section draws from Donner’s original Yellow Fall delay, producing warm, analog-voiced repeats with time, feedback and level controls.
Hands-On Control for Creative Sound Design
Each effect section features dedicated mini controls for fast, intuitive tone shaping. Players can run effects individually or combine distortion, modulation and echo to create layered textures and experimental sounds. The analog signal path delivers responsive feel and organic dynamics, allowing subtle picking changes and playing technique to influence the final tone.
Third Man Hardware Collaboration With Distinctive Design
Built in partnership with Grammy winner Jack White’s Third Man Hardware, the Triple Threat reflects a design rooted in creativity and sonic experimentation. The custom enclosure features signature Third Man graphics, including lightning bolt accents inspired by Tesla tower imagery and visual motifs from the Third Man Hardware aesthetic. With three independent footswitches, buffered bypass and a rugged metal chassis, the Donner x Third Man Hardware Triple Threat delivers unique analog character and collaboration-driven design for players seeking distinctive tone and creative flexibility.
