DONNER Unveils the ESSENTIAL D1 Performance Beat Machine: Unleash Your Rhythm

In collaboration with Donner, Jack White of Third Man Hardware, developed the three sounds of The Triple Threat. JAN.25, 2024— Nashville — Third Man Hardware has partnered with Donner to create the Triple Threat, a 3-in-1 analog multi-effects pedal. The Triple Threat is an analog multi-effects pedal designed by Third Man Hardware and manufactured by Donner. White Stripes lead man and the founder of Third Man Hardware Jack White took interest in Donner’s Alpha series pedals released in 2017. Jack felt that the quality, versatility, price point and value was perfect for any of Third Man Hardware’s beginner guitar players, so the two brands collaborated, and the Triple Threat was born. “It has been my hope for a while to make an affordable pedal for beginning musicians.” White tells Donner why he would want to make a pedal like Triple Threat. “When I approached Donner they knew what I was aiming for and we were able to make something very cool that was also not going to break the bank for a beginning musician.” Triple Threat starts with a wide-range high gain distortion, with volume, gain, and tone controls to create a threatening rock sound. A classic phaser upgraded from the Pearl Tremor pedal by Donner is next with extended mod controls. Third in line is an analog voiced echo, originated from Donner’s first ever pedal, the Yellow Fall Delay released in 2013, with warm analog tone and rich feedback. “All three effects: the distortion, phaser and echo are all heavy duty. I was very impressed with them the first time I plugged into the prototype version that Donner had sent. ” White talks about the three effects. “This set of effects is for all kinds of music, all genres. Maybe not opera though.” He adds, “The Triple Threat will fit very comfortably on my pedal board.” Third Man Hardware designed the external appearance of The Triple Threat, adding its signature patterns such as lightning bolts from the Tesla tower on the panel, three sharp stripes in front and the signature diagrams from Third Man Hardware’s logo on both sides of the pedal. With upgraded circuit design and tuning the tone to Jack’s specifications, Donner combined three analog circuits into one metal enclosure, delivering simplicity, unique analog sounds and versatile utility for all beginner musicians on the go. Price and Availability: The Triple Threat will be launched in two versions: one of which will be a limited edition variant in yellow, exclusively available at Third Man’s Reverb store. The second variation will be the standard black. $99 Standard Edition $129 Limited Edition Main Features 3-in-1 analog effect pedal DISTORTION: TONE, GAIN, VOL PHASER: DEPTH, RATE, LEVEL ECHO: TIME, FEEDBACK, LEVEL FOOTSWITCHES toggle effects on (yellow LED indicates on) Bypass: Buffered bypass Power Supply: 9 volts DC (Adapter included)

THIRD MAN HARDWARE AND DONNER RELEASE THE TRIPLE THREAT

Anaheim, CA – New for 2023, Donner has introduced two new additions to its DST Seeker Series electric guitar lineup: the DST-600 and DST-700. By adding these two new models, Donner's time-tested Seeker Series has reached new heights with a balance of vintage and modern design, providing contemporary players with the ultimate playing experience and versatile tones, from warm blues or clean style to shred-heavy metal sounds. The DST-600 has an alder body, maple neck and comes in either SSS or HSS configurations with a maple or rosewood fretboard. Featuring special tuning on each pole piece, the vintage staggered SSS configured DST-600 gives an authentic 60s sound that is sparkly clean, while providing a rich and smooth tone when pushed with some overdrive. The DST-600 with a trio of alnico V single coils marks Donner's faithful attempt for the vintage aesthetics while maintaining versatile play capabilities by providing an alternative HSS configured option. DST-600 Features: C-shaped maple neck, 25-1/2'' scale length, 22 frets Maple fingerboard for the SSS model, rosewood fingerboard for the HSS model Alder body Rosewood/Maple fretboard with acrylic dot inlay Single-action tuning truss rod Medium Jumbo Stainless Steel frets Authentic bone nut Donner D-Cream Series Alnico V pickups 5-position blade switching, Push/Pull on Tone Control Vintage-style tuning machine heads, Matching headstock Gig bag included Finish: Gloss Polyurethane body finish, Satin neck finish; Color: Sunset, Shell pink, Surf green, Carnival red, White, Red Built around several differences from the original Seeker series, the DST-700 is Donner’s bold offer to aggressive players.

Second, Donner’s new Hyper Series pickups come in 3 configurations: HH, HSS, and HSH with coil switch. Donner’s latest Hyper Series pickups are designed, made, and tuned for high-output fatter tones, yet deliver tremendous dynamic range. Finally, the fingerboard utilizes a compound radius resulting in a neck that achieves an ideal ergonomic equilibrium, suitable for producing both clear melodies and chordal playing, as well as lightning-fast solos played on the higher frets. Other features include an easily accessible truss rod adjuster that sits next to the neck pickup, allowing players to make adjustments without removing the neck; high-quality hardware, including steel medium frets, Donner 18:1 Locking Machines, 2-point synchronized tremolo with block saddles, and a steel plate.

NAMM 2023: Donner Adds New Guitars to Its Seeker Series Electric Guitar: Deliver Versatile Tone Options and High-End Aesthetics

Scott Holder from Digital Drummer has done a detailed review of the Donner DED-200 Pro from appearance, features, controls, performance and sound. Scott says: “DONNER released a mesh-based drum kit in late 2019. At the time, the DED-200 made a splash in the budget e-kit world because of its price and the fact the snare, kick and toms were all mesh. The latest offering is the DED-200 Pro, “pro” being the key in differentiating the new release from the old. The DED-200 Pro is available at two price points. The other difference from the original DED-200 is a change from mesh to rubber for the kick and a significantly expanded module.” Head to Digital Drummer to see the full review.

The new DONNER ‘flagship’ mesh kit DED-200 Pro

The Donner DMK-25 Pro is a new mini MIDI controller from a brand that is gaining some steam in my eyes: Donner. Over the last few months, I have been relentless in reviews, and the latest keyboard I’ve got my hands on is the DMK25 PRO. In this review of the DMK-25, I will give my honest thoughts about it and compare it with a few heavy hitters, such as the Akai Mini and the Nektar Mini series. Before this controller, I wasn’t super familiar with Donner MIDI controllers, but I have had experience with their digital pianos, which I find pretty underrated. My quick thoughts on the Donner DMK-25 Pro are that it greatly exceeded my expectations. It delivered from the build quality to the workflow inside Cubase (my DAW of choice). *I’ve had about one month of playing with a reviewing the DMK-25 Pro, and this review is entirely unbiased. The DMK-25 is a mini MIDI controller aimed at beginner-level producers, but I’ve discovered this mainly due to its price point and smaller keys.

Arturia Mini Keylab Comparing this with the Mini Keylab by Arturia, both keyboards do their job well. They both allow you to make music quickly and at a relatively low price. That being said, the build quality of the Donner felt better than the Mini Keylab, which caught me off, guard. I’ve always been a HUGE fan of the quality of Arturia keyboards, so this is a big win. VS. Novation Launch Key Mini The Novation Launchkey Mini is my favorite mini controller on the market due to its 16 pads, low-price point, and bundled software. I want to say that the Donner DMK 25 Pro competes with this keyboard, which is a significant win again. Again, the build quality of the Donner seems to be top-notch again. Would I Recommend The DMK-25 Pro? After spending a month with this keyboard, I recommend checking it out, especially if you’re looking for something cheap that isn’t your classic MK3. It also has an excellent design that is distinguishable from all other options on the market. The DMK 25 Pro by Donner is worth serious thought if you’re looking for a mini MIDI controller. It is nice to recommend a product for a price point that one or two brands have controlled mainly for as long as I can remember. reviewed by Chris Senner Chris Senner is a passionate keyboardist, songwriter & blogger from Milwaukee, WI.

The Donner DMK-25 Pro is a new<a href="https://keyboardkraze.com/best-mini-midi-controllers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> mini MIDI controller</a> from a brand that is gaining some steam in my eyes: Donner. Over the last few months, I have been relentless in reviews, and the latest keyboard I’ve got my hands on is the DMK25 PRO. 
In this review of the DMK-25, I will give my honest thoughts about it and compare it with a few heavy hitters, such as the Akai Mini and the Nektar Mini series. Before this controller, I wasn’t super familiar with Donner MIDI controllers, but I have had experience with their digital pianos, which I find pretty underrated.
My quick thoughts on the Donner DMK-25 Pro are that it greatly exceeded my expectations. It delivered from the build quality to the workflow inside Cubase (my DAW of choice). 
*I’ve had about one month of playing with a reviewing the DMK-25 Pro, and this review is entirely unbiased.
The DMK-25 is a mini MIDI controller aimed at beginner-level producers, but I’ve discovered this mainly due to its price point and smaller keys.
I’ll dive deeper into this later in the review, but one thing is clear: The DMK-25 Pro is a legitimate challenger to all heavy-hitting mini controllers on the market.
One thing that I want to point out is that the USB for this keyboard is USB-C. This is becoming common, but if you’re used to the older ports, you will want to pick up a couple of these cables.

Donner DMK-25 Pro – A New Contender?

Thom Dunn, band leader of the Roland High Life, staff writer from Wirecutter, whose main guitar since 2003 has been a cherry red Gibson Les Paul Junior Special (affectionately known as Roxie). According to what he comments on the DST-400 guitar, "The action is smooth like butter, and the P90s pickups both compliment and inform my playing style — they have a crisp, clear analog warmth, with the thickness of a humbucker and the bright twang of a single-coil pickup." But Thom recently got a chance to mess around with a Donner Seeker DST-400. Let's watch how a $200 guitar from Donner compares to a Gibson Les Paul. The full review was originally posted on Boingboing.net

Donner VS. Gibson Les Paul Guitar Tone Comparison

TWS TRUE WIRELESS EARPHONES - UNDER $50 FOUR STARS - The Donner Dobuds One has great sound, a comfortable fit, Active Noise Cancelling, app support, and good call quality for just $50. If only video playback was more on point. Donner Dobuds One specs and features: Bluetooth 5.2 with AAC codec ‘Waterproof’ 5,5 - 8 hours listening on a single charge (ANC on/off) Charging case can recharge earpieces fully 3 times Comes with 5 sets of ear tips, USB-C cable, English manual $50 - Check latest price on Amazon US Comes with 20% launch discount, try out code DONNEREB for extra 10% off Below this Donner Dobuds One review, you will find comparisons of the Donner Dobuds One vs FiiTii HifiAir, Earfun Air Pro 2, and OnePlus Nord Buds. All reviews on Scarbir.com are unsponsored and honest. You can support his research by buying via the links on this site. You can also support him via PayPal. <3 DESIGN, COMFORT AND BATTERY LIFE The charging case of the Donner Dobuds One scratches easily and looks worn out rapidly. There - that's one of the biggest issues with the Donner DoBods One right out of the way. The lid on the case feels a little loose and it doesn't support wireless charging, but other than that it's pretty convenient. It's thin enough to carry in a jeans pocket, has three LED-lights that indicate the remaining case battery and it can recharge the earbuds three times fully before it needs new power via USB-C itself. The earbuds look more polished, available in black, light green, or white. They combine a plastic stem with a shiny triangular touch panel in the same color, and the earpieces are of the oval kind you put diagonally in your ears. The oval parts combine a snug fit and are comfortable to wear for hours - in medium-sized ears, anyway. To grant you the best fit, the Dobuds comes with five sizes of ear tips - more than the usual three. The battery life on the Dobuds One is solid, delivering around 5,5 hours of playtime with ANC on, and up to 8 hours with Active Noise Cancelling turned off. Two things of note, sadly: there's no official waterproof rating - although Donner states the earbuds are waterproof, and they do indeed survive a light rainfall. Also, even when you're playing music, the subtle LED-lights in the touch panels keeps on blinking, which is annoying in the dark. CONTROLS AND CONNECTIVITY The Donner Dobuds One responds to your input on the touch panel with slight clicks. These clicks aren't too loud, but could fire faster. Happily, all important controls are available on the earbuds: Double-tap L or R to play/pause Tap R to increase volume Tap L to decrease it Hold R to skip to the next song Hold L to return a song Triple-tap R to switch between ANC on, Transparency mode, ANC off Triple-tap L to activate the voice assistant You can change the controls to your liking with the free Donner app. Assign the Gaming mode to one of the double-taps and literally ALL possibilities of these earbuds are within reach. You'll need it, as the gaming mode is used to improve synchronization in videos as well. Connectivity is good, as the earbuds pair and connect quickly and keep a stable Bluetooth signal up to 10 meters away from your device. CALLS, MOVIES AND GAMES It's nice that the Donner Dobuds One has a gaming mode, which speeds up the sound effects decently with the action you see on the screen - although not as flawless as on the SoundPEATS Mini Pro or Air3 Pro. It's unfortunate that you need to activate the gaming mode every time to have flawless video playback on iPhone. Without the gaming mode, audio and video don't align in Instagram and Twitter videos - an outdated performance. Playback does work well on YouTube and other streaming services, however. Audio-video synchronization are on point on Android phones as well. It's doable to take a phone or video call with this Donner. Your voice is loud enough and has a nice fullness to it. Noise around you, whether it's door slams, accelerating vehicles, or even a distant ambulance siren, stay in the background while you talk, and don't overrule your voice - although they do make your voice a bit more muffled. Wind noise is the usual enemy to the call clarity. APP SUPPORT OF DONNER DOBUDS ONE Donner may be a newcomer to the world of wireless earbuds, but its debut already has full free app support for iPhone and Android. The Donner Control app connects to the earbuds without problems, works easily and has some useful features: Check the battery level of both earbuds Switch between ANC, Normal and Transparency mode ANC options: choose between Commute, Indoor, Outdoor or a custom level of noise reduction Change controls for single, double and long taps (De)activate the game mode Reduce the maximum volume level of the earbuds Activate Auto Off function, shutting the earbuds down after 30 minutes of not using them Choose between 6 equalizer presets Create, add and select multiple equalizers of your own The app is quick to connect and easy to understand Add the Game Mode here and you'll have all controls on the earbuds This does look a lot like Soundcore's app, doesn't it? Despite the many options, the ANC options don't do much at all - see the ANC part of this review. The equalizer select screen looks a lot like Soundcore's app... but its equalizers aren't as thorough - they mainly make the sound more fuzzy; fuller in a bad way. All in all, the app is a useful addition to the Dobuds One. ANC NOISE CANCELLING OF DOBUDS ONE You can adjust the noise reduction from the app, but it doesn't change much The Active Noise Cancelling on the Donner Dobuds One is adequate but could be better. It can help you reduce the volume of your surroundings, but even when you're listening to music, you're likely to still hear brighter surrounding noise, like accelerating scooters or a vacuum cleaner in the office. Background sounds are filtered better, with electronic and static humming heavily reduced in volume, and mid-tones like chatter and writing in your keyboard, are also noticeably softened. With the app, you can set the ANC function to either Commute, Indoor, Outdoor, or even adjust it manually - but it's very hard to pinpoint the differences between them - if there are any. The Transparency mode doesn't really add much, as the Normal and even ANC mode still passthrough some sounds. With the Transparency mode, brighter tones and sound effects in your area are heavily boosted and are definitely clearer, but it's still hard to speak with others while you listen music (also on low volume). It does let you hear and locate traffic easily, but there may be too much wind noise to use the function in traffic. Happily, you can turn off the ANC from the earbuds as well, removing the wind noise that is audible in the two other settings. As switching between the functions is confirmed by beeps that are pretty much alike, the wind noise is THE giveaway to announce the function you're in. SOUND QUALITY OF DONNER DOBUDS ONE 'Balanced armature inside!' It's the biggest selling point on the Amazon listing or the packaging from the Donner Dobuds One. It's not what you think. The Dobuds has lifted lows. Lower mid-tones, like darker electronic tones and drums, are quite boosted and give the sound a warm character. The mid-bass has a full, strong and deep thump that can be a little muddy, but it's not too aggressive. On top, the sub-bass can rumble heavy, deep, and loose. The bass has more power than tightness, but it's a fun performer. In the higher frequencies, female and higher male vocals are put somewhat forward to counter the boosted lower tones, and they sound clear and centric, but also come with some sibilance: hissy sss-tones. Cymbals and claps also sound a bit splashy. While Donner is proud of its Balanced armature and also promotes its Hybrid Dual Drivers on the box, they aren't really used to up the clarity in the sound. Things never get too bright and never become too sharp. However, you need a bit of volume to bring out the higher frequencies and ditch the closed-in sound that the Dobuds has on lower volume levels. Volume helps to separate instruments from each other, reveal texture and naturalness on snare drums, guitars, and other acoustic instruments, and provide vocals with more presence and nuances. Otherwise unnoticed, there's now good left-right separation too. That said, the Donner sounds a bit closed-in, or intimate, if you want to go for a more romantic word. A thing to note, is that the maximum volume level isn't as high as most competitors. There should be enough volume for most people, and it's definitely not as restricted as the recently reviewed FiiTii HifiAir, but some may still want it louder. The Donner Dobuds One can go very soft though, and as the lower tones prevail on the softer levels, this TWS is suitable for easy background listening, as well as capable of delivering a fun, warm sound on higher volumes. DONNER DOBUDS ONE COMPARISONS DONNER DOBUDS ONE VS FIITII HIFIAIR Another newcomer with decent Active Noise Cancelling and a great feature set is the FiiTii HifiAir. Both have a warm-balanced sound signature, with strongly boosted mid-bass and lower-mids. The Dobuds does it better. Its vocals and (upper) mids instruments sound clearer and more natural, less metallic than on the HifiAir. The Donner has a fuller yet smoother bass, while the FiiTii shows more bass depth and has a heavier and looser rumble. In features, both have solid battery life and all controls on the earbuds, while the FiiTii adds a splendid IPX7 waterproof rating and better synchronization between audio and video. The Dobuds One has app support to let you alter the controls, and can go louder. FiiTii HifiAir by Mifo review ($50) DONNER DOBUDS ONE VS EARFUN AIR PRO 2 Available for a little more than 50 dollars, the Earfun Air Pro 2 throws in stronger Active Noise Cancelling, flawless video synchronization, and an IPX5 waterproof rating on top of Donner's features. It may not have app support, but the Earfun does have all important controls on the earbuds - including a gaming mode. The Donner sounds more ‘fun’, with a stronger mid-bass thump, deeper sub-bass, and further boosted lower-mids. It rolls off treble earlier. The Earfun has a cleaner presentation, by positioning vocals and instruments more precisely. It also puts the center-mids (guitars, piano play, 'regular' vocals) more into the spotlight, helping to make a more natural sound. Earfun Air Pro 2 review ($60) DONNER DOBUDS ONE VS SOUNDCORE LIFE A3I Who needs stems anyway? Right above the 50 dollars mark, the Soundcore Life A3i has stronger Active Noise Cancelling and longer battery life, but without the typical earphone stems. While its round earpieces aren't as easy to fit as the Dobuds One, the Soundcore has an IPX5 waterproof rating and actual buttons so you can operate them with sweaty or cold fingers. Soundcore's app is more usable as well, letting your choose from more and mostly better equalizers. Out of the box, the Life A3i has a more (!) bulbous sub-bass rumble, and a punchier and more textured mid-bass. The DoBuds One has a fuller mid-bass. The Soundcore places vocals more forward and pushes upper-mids further than the Dobuds One, which in turn presents center-mids a little more natural. The Soundcore doesn't have a gaming mode, but at least it doesn't need one to play videos effortless. Soundcore Life A3i review ($60) DONNER DOBUDS ONE VS ONEPLUS NORD BUDS If acceptable (but not-groundbreaking) Active Noise Cancelling isn't your main concern, it's worth to take a look at the $40-50 OnePlus Nord Buds as well. The OnePlus is great for phone and video calls, boast an IP55 waterproof rating, and offers better video playback. When it comes to sound, the Donner has far more boosted bass and lower-mids, while it also rolls off highs earlier, creating a bassier and warmer sound. The OnePlus mid-bass has a quicker pacing, and its sound is airier. Its extended treble makes vocals and brighter instruments reach higher notes easier, and along with its openness, it makes the OnePlus more engaging for classical pieces - but the Donner is more versatile. OnePlus Nord Buds review ($40) VERDICT The Donner Dobuds One has great sound, a comfortable fit, Active Noise Cancelling, app support, and good call quality for just $50. iPhone users should be aware they will have to activate the gaming mode as standard to get good video playback. FOUR STARS - GOOD

Donner Dobuds One review: Allround ANC earbuds under $50

Simon Morgan from KillerGuitarRigs has done a detailed review of the Donner DST-400 from appearance, features, controls, performance and sound. Simon says: "We were once again impressed by the quality of the fit and finish. It arrived in a well protected box, and every component of the guitar was individually padded with Styrofoam to ensure safety during shipping. It even came wrapped up in a (lightly) padded gig bag." Donner DST-400 is the flagship model in Donner's DST lineup. Donner did provide Killerguitarrigs' editorial team with a guitar for this review, but all thoughts and opinions of the guitar are their own. Head to KillerGuitarRigs to see the full review.

Play like Thunder on the Donner DDP-80 Digital Piano [Review]

With all of the options available in today’s e-piano market, finding a sweet spot between features and affordability can be tricky. Luckily Donner, a relatively smaller and newer company, unveiled a new option for those of us looking for a full-scale piano, but with limited space. The Donner DDP-80 sports 88 fully weighted keys across an all wooden facade. Donner gave us the opportunity to try its new DDP-80 piano for ourselves, and as you’ll continue to read below, it certainly exceeded all of our expectations. "In conclusion, as a relatively new company, Donner definitely blew us away with the DDP-80 piano. Between its sound, included extras, and versatility, we’d consider this a must-buy for anyone looking for a budget e-piano. Because of all of this, the DDP-80 easily earns our Gold Medal approval. To get the Donner DDP-80 piano for yourself, use the links below, and to learn more about DDP-80, click here for all the information you can find." Concluded Jimmy Byrne form All things Gear.

Donner DDP-80 review: One of the top budget electric pianos

Most guitarists, myself included, daydream of a rig comprised of high-end instruments, including, of course, some vintage war-horses. We walk into a guitar store with the reverence of an art student entering the Louvre in Paris; each instrument represents an expression of form and potential that resonates deeply within. Unfortunately, most of us can’t afford to indulge our guitar fantasies to the extent we’d like. Laying out thousands of dollars for a top-quality guitar is, for most players, a once or twice in a lifetime experience, if that. Luckily, there are affordable musical instruments on the market today that deliver great tone, looks, and playability for a price that won’t have you playing the blues. One of these is the Donner DST 400 Electric Guitar. "The Donner electric guitar solid body DST 400 is a great inexpensive guitar ideal for beginners and more experienced or professional musicians on a budget or looking for a modification project. With its electric guitar solid alder body, c shaped neck profile, and H-H-S pickup configuration, this guitar delivers tone and playability you’d expect from a significantly more expensive ax." concluded Fabian Zelenski from Guitar Top Review. Head to Guitar Top Review to see why Donner DST 400 Electric Guitar delivers tone and playability you’d expect from a significantly more expensive ax.
