Elk Grove Village, IL — August 31, 2015 — Effect pedal manufacturer Function f(x) LLC today announced the launch of The Third Rail, the company's second product and follow-up to the successful Clusterfuzz.
Featuring two independent overdrive channels in a single box, The Third Rail offers six knobs and four switches to delight tone tweakers worldwide.

The Third Rail features at a glance:
- Wide variety of tonal options from six control knobs, four toggle switches, and three bypass modes
