ARTIST COLLABORATIONS
MIYAVI Signature Effect Pedals: the Double Swords
The “Double Swords” series, consisting of two individual 3-in-1 multi-effect pedals, the Rage Breaker and the Dimension Weaver, is the first collaboration between Donner and Japanese guitarist MIYAVI who has been named as the brand’s Creative Director since last year.
The Dimension Weaver in blue finish integrates S-VERB, CHORUS, and DELAY, offering musicians precise control via dedicated dials of Dwell, Tone, and Mix for the S-VERB; Level, Time, and Repeat for the DELAY; and Level, Rate, and Depth for the CHORUS. The Rage Breaker features analog design circuits combining BOOST, FUZZ, and OVERDRIVE effects.
The OVERDRIVE is controlled by Input, Tone, and Gain; the FUZZ effect utilizes four dedicated controls: Gate, Input, Tone, and Sustain; while the BOOST is controlled by the knobs of Gain, Input, and Output, it also features two extra DIP switches hidden under the stompbox with two additional settings, allowing you to adjust the boost frequencies and EQ settings for a customized sound.
Rage Breaker (Red): $119.9 USD
Dimension Weaver (Blue): $129.9 USD
