New products include two sets of signature pedals developed in collaboration with MIYAVI and Ruben Wan, significant updates to the popular HUSH guitar series, and electronic drum kits referenced by Guitar Center.
On January 5, 2026, Donner, a China-based manufacturer, announced a wide range of new products that will be showcased at NAMM Show 2026 (Booth #6423). Highlights include the MIYAVI 3-in-1 signature pedals (Double Swords, a set of two), Ruben Wan's signature Chorus and Distortion pedals, as well as Groove series electronic drums designed for authorized US retailers, including Guitar Center and Musician's Friend.
Donner is also updating its popular HUSH headless guitar series, with a major redesign of the original HUSH-I model and the introduction of five new colorways for the HUSH I Pro and HUSH X Pro models. In addition, Donner has partnered with Steinberg to offer HUSH X Pro and HUSH I Pro users a free software package, providing an exceptional musical experience for both beginner and advanced guitarists.
ARTIST COLLABORATIONS
MIYAVI Signature Effect Pedals: Double Swords
The "Double Swords" series, consisting of two distinct 3-in-1 multi-effect pedals, the Rage Breaker and the Dimension Weaver, marks the first collaboration between Donner and Japanese guitarist MIYAVI, who was appointed the brand's creative director last year.
The Dimension Weaver, with its blue finish, integrates S-VERB, CHORUS, and DELAY effects, offering musicians precise control via dedicated potentiometers: Dwell, Tone, and Mix for S-VERB; Level, Time, and Repeat for DELAY; and Level, Rate, and Depth for CHORUS. The Rage Breaker is based on analog circuits combining BOOST, FUZZ, and OVERDRIVE.
OVERDRIVE is controlled by Input, Tone, and Gain; the FUZZ effect has four dedicated settings: Gate, Input, Tone, and Sustain; while BOOST is controlled by Gain, Input, and Output knobs. It also features two mini DIP switches hidden under the pedal, offering two additional settings to adjust boost frequencies and equalization, allowing for advanced sound customization.

Multiple Updates to the HUSH Series
Five new colorways are enriching two iconic models in the HUSH headless guitar series: White Luxe and Midnight Glow for the HUSH X PRO Electric Guitar, as well as Hawaii Blue, Space Black, and Maillard Fade for the HUSH I PRO Electric Acoustic Guitar.
In addition, a free pack of three Steinberg software titles—Cubase LE 15, Cubasis LE 3 (mobile version of Cubase), and WaveLab Cast—is now included with the purchase of HUSH I PRO and HUSH X PRO.
Furthermore, Donner is also launching the HUSH I EVO2, which replaces the original HUSH-I model (introduced at NAMM 2022) with the following key improvements:

The HUSH X PRO and HUSH I PRO models are available on the official Donner store. The HUSH I EVO2 will be available worldwide in March 2026, at the same price as the original HUSH I.
HLX-500 Headless Electric Guitar
Available in three colors, the HLX-500 (formerly NHL-500) combines a lightweight, travel-friendly body with an asymmetrical neck profile and a 24-fret configuration, offering comprehensive performance in a compact format.
The HLX-500 features Donner's integrated locking bridge system—proven on the HUSH series—as well as Donner's patented headless locking hardware, ensuring excellent tuning stability, precise action and intonation adjustments, and quick and efficient string changes. Its ergonomic and balanced design also prevents neck-dive, enhancing comfort during long playing sessions. Versatile, the HLX-500's SSH pickup configuration offers a wide tonal palette.
