Third Man Hardware TMH015-S Triple Threat Donner Effects Pedal (Standard Edition)

TMH015-S Triple Threat Donner Effects Pedal (Standard Edition)

The TMH015-S is the Triple Threat Donner Effects Pedal (Standard Edition), a collaboration between Third Man Hardware and Donner. It represents a meeting of analog craftsmanship and rock-and-roll attitude, combining three independent effect circuits into a single, road-ready metal enclosure. Designed for musicians who demand versatility without sacrificing tone, the Triple Threat is a compact powerhouse built to cover a wide range of sonic territory — from crushing distortion to lush modulation to warm, vintage-flavored echo.

High Gain Distortion

The Triple Threat begins with a wide-range high gain distortion, featuring Volume, Gain, and Tone controls engineered to create a threatening rock sound. Whether dialed in for a tight, punchy crunch or pushed into full-on aggressive overdrive, this circuit gives players the tools to sculpt a commanding, aggressive tone. The dedicated controls allow for precise shaping, making it equally at home for rhythm work or searing lead passages that need to cut through a mix.

Classic Phaser with Extended Modulation

The second effect in the chain is a classic phaser, upgraded from the Pearl Tremor pedal by Donner, featuring extended modulation controls including Depth, Rate, and Level. This isn't a stripped-down, one-trick phaser — the extended mod controls open up a broad palette of swirling, shifting tones. From subtle movement that adds dimension to a clean signal, to deep, hypnotic sweeps that define psychedelic rock and funk, the phaser circuit delivers with the kind of analog warmth that players have chased for decades.

Analog Echo with Rich Feedback

Rounding out the Triple Threat is an analog-voiced echo, originated from Donner's very first pedal — the Yellow Fall Delay, released in 2013 — offering warm analog tone and rich feedback, controlled via Time, Feedback, and Level knobs. Rather than the sterile precision of digital delay, this circuit breathes and blooms in the way that players who grew up on tape echo have always loved. The feedback control lets you dial in everything from a single, tasteful slap-back to cascading, self-oscillating repeats that take on a life of their own.

Why Our Gear Experts Appreciate the TMH015-S

Our gear experts appreciate the TMH015-S because it delivers three fully realized, analog circuits — distortion, phaser, and echo — in a single metal enclosure, offering versatile utility for musicians on the go. Rather than compromising on tone, the circuit design was upgraded and tuned to Jack White's specifications, ensuring each effect stands on its own merits. The ability to toggle three distinct, quality sounds from one compact, durable pedal makes it an efficient and inspired choice for live performance and studio use alike.
