With NAMM 2026 now underway, one of the pedal launches I have been most curious about finally has a name and a shape. Donner Music is officially rolling out the MIYAVI Signature Double Swords series, a two-pedal release that feels like a clear statement about where the company wants to go next.
This is Donner’s first artist signature pedal project, developed in collaboration with MIYAVI, who stepped into the role of Creative Director last year. Rather than compressing everything into a single multi-effect box, Donner and MIYAVI split the concept into two focused stompboxes. On paper, that decision already says a lot about intent. These pedals look designed to live on real pedalboards, not just exist as a collector piece.
Why the Double Swords Concept Makes Sense
The Double Swords series consists of two separate pedals, the Rage Breaker and the Dimension Weaver, each covering a specific side of MIYAVI’s playing approach. The idea is not subtle. One pedal handles aggression and drive. The other focuses on space, movement, and texture. Together, they are meant to form a complete rig you can carry anywhere.
MIYAVI has spoken openly about his role with Donner being less about branding and more about direction. From his perspective, this project reflects a shift for the company as it moves beyond entry-level gear and into more ambitious territory. That framing matters, because it sets expectations. These pedals are positioned as tools that work across amps, DI setups, and even laptop-based rigs, rather than being locked into one type of player or environment.
Rage Breaker Covers the Core Drive Sounds
The Rage Breaker comes in a red finish and focuses entirely on analog drive circuits. It combines BOOST, FUZZ, and OVERDRIVE in a single enclosure, but each effect has its own dedicated control set rather than sharing parameters.
The OVERDRIVE section uses Input, Tone, and Gain. The FUZZ section adds Gate, Input, Tone, and Sustain, which gives players more control over how aggressive or controlled the circuit behaves. The BOOST section includes Gain, Input, and Output, along with two hidden DIP switches under the enclosure that allow further adjustment of boost frequencies and EQ behavior.
From a practical standpoint, this layout suggests the Rage Breaker is meant to be shaped carefully rather than set once and forgotten. The inclusion of a gate control on the fuzz section stands out, especially for players dealing with higher-gain textures or noisier environments.
Dimension Weaver Handles Space and Modulation
The Dimension Weaver takes a very different approach. Finished in blue, it combines S-VERB, CHORUS, and DELAY into a single pedal, again with dedicated controls for each section.
The S-VERB uses Dwell, Tone, and Mix. The DELAY uses Level, Time, and Repeat. The CHORUS uses Level, Rate, and Depth. Nothing is shared, and nothing feels hidden. That matters when switching between studio work and live use, where quick adjustments are often more important than deep menus.
MIYAVI has described this pedal as the more transparent and expressive half of the pair, and from the feature set alone, it reads as something designed to support atmosphere and movement rather than dominate the signal.
Pricing, Availability, and What This Signals
Donner lists the Rage Breaker at $119.90 USD and the Dimension Weaver at $129.90 USD. Both pedals are scheduled for worldwide availability in March 2026. There is also a Double Swords Limited Package planned for Japan and China, bundled with exclusive MIYAVI merchandise and available through select retailers.
Stepping back, this release feels important for Donner beyond the pedals themselves. It is the company’s first signature pedal collaboration, and it arrives with a clear creative framework rather than a generic endorsement. As NAMM unfolds, this is one of those releases that feels worth spending time with in person, because it hints at how Donner plans to position itself going forward.
