CopperSound/ Jack White Collaboration - Third Man Triplegraph

In 2016, CopperSound pedals sent Jack White a custom Telegraph Stutter Killswitch pedal, inspired by the old Morse code telegraph key. Within the hour of receiving the pedal, Jack had mocked up an idea to expand on the stutter-- combining it with his favorite polyphonic octave effects.
The Triplegraph project was a true labor of love spanning 4 years of hard work by CopperSound and Jack White, who ended up road testing the pedal and using it in the studio with the Raconteurs. The result is a clean octave up and down with zero-latency and spotless tracking, thanks to a powerful Blackfin DSP. Three stainless steel and aluminum telegraph keys were custom designed to withstand endless abuse from your feet or hands and the “Loctave” toggle switches give the two octaves independent momentary or latching operation. Octave down is on the left, octave up on the right and the center has two selectable modes: Kill mode removes the dry signal momentarily which allows stuttering effects but also reveals 100% octave signals when either are engaged.
The Auxiliary mode engages the send/return jacks where you can place your favorite effects and blast them in and out in parallel with the octave signals. This can be anything from a simple boost to a combination such as fuzz or modulation to make a more dramatic effect.

In this crowded pedal marketplace there is still room for originality and innovation

[RobFlaxMusic]

I'm a violinist obsessed with pitch shifters (like most electric violinists, frankly)... Always been a fan of Coppersound stuff, but this is next level. Bravo!

[stephenlennartz]

Funny! My father (and his father) spent his entire career at Western Union. He started as telegraph operator and used a 'key' also called a 'bug' to send and receive messages across the nation/world. We still have several of his keys that look exactly like this product. Inspiration comes in many forms from many places. Cool.

[salzulli]

I can actually see using this... I've been genuinely impressed by the Jack White Pedal Collabs.

[mrfrontranger]

Agile toe tapping The drums are killer Such a cool pedal

[EricMerrow]

Man this pedal sounds amazing! The octave pitch and tracking are really impressive! Great video, Andy!

[eldude-ivdw]

I used to say nothing comes close to the digitech whammy...but this looks and sounds great. That middle kill switch for the effects loop is pure gold.

[zobotrombie]

When Covid lockdown began, I had zero pedals. Now, I have two frickin’ pedalboards.

*prepares to purchase this pedal*

1. Play left -- fire the Bassist. 2. Play right- fire the female vocalist 3.Kill switch - fire the guy at the mixer....way to go !

[hackaroundandfindout]

If I ever challenged Andy to a guitar contest, my first (and only) move would be a pick-scrape.

[liamplunkett]

This thing is badass. The effect loop with the killswitch to me is what makes it so unique and very practical... I think this will only go up on value

[benjaminfowler]

It's expensive but this is one pedal I can say I think is worth the price. Prolly be worth more in the future as well

[cmousdale]

was that first piece a song, or just an all-mighty Andy riff.

[NoUploadJustComment]

Undeniably Jack White. Undeniably awesome.

[joshdaniel]

Of all the YouTubers I watch, none of them can really dig into a pedal and come out with their own ideas while also showing off the functions quite like Andy. There’s enough ideas and licks in this video alone to develop multiple songs, thank you for another awesome demo Andy!

[wongjason]

I think the guitarist from the White Stripes would love this pedal

[elbik]

Wow, Andy you make guitar look easy. It's amazing how you can do magic with any pedal you're handed.

[twigy]

Great playing great review Andy, greatings from PORTUGAL

[jimilee]

It’s nice to something implemented in a new and original way. And that guitar!!!

[nathanschad]

Middle switch can be an effects loop! So many possibilities
