Plenty of Octaves:

The Moai Maea from KMA Machines is a pure analogue octaver, giving you a flavour of that old-school octaver sound but with more power and improved functionality. Think of those classic old 70s units – but on steroids!

Letting you add an octave up, the Moai Maea also delivers a whopping two sub-octaves to give you a truly thunderous low-end. The higher octave has a fuzzy character to it with plenty of cut, perfect for Hendrix-style sounds that will let your solos carve through any mix.

Pure Thunder!

The sub-octaves can transform your guitar into a filthy-sounding bass that will shake the floor of any venue. A versatile mode switch will let you to choose if you want just the first or second sub-octaves, or you can have both engaged so that you can achieve an engulfing wall of sound.

And with the upper and sub-octaves having their own dedicated footswitch, you can easily change up your sound on the fly – think Royal Blood!

KMA Audio Machines have also added a serial buffered FX-Loop at the clean path, featuring a phase inverter to ensure no phase cancellation when mixing your signal. Now that’s German efficiency.

Here’s what KMA Machines say about the Moai Maea Analog Octaver Pedal:

For thousand of years they tower over the green meadows along the coast and the hillside of Rapa Nui. Moai Maea, silent and solemn – venerated and mystified by a long forgotten ancient culture. It will let you feel the droning and shrieking of the mighty erupting Rano Raraku where the Moai Maea was born.

Moai Maea is KMA Audio Machines’ answer to long forgotten analog octaver sounds to generate a huge wall of sound by playing just one note. It generates one higher octave and up to two sub-octaves. The higher octave has an edgy and fuzzy character which is reminis- cent of old seventy octave up sounds like Hendrix or The Stooges. The sub-octaves turn your guitar into a filthy bass guitar with groundshaking lows. We added a sub-octave mode switch for more versatility. Choose between either the first (-I), the second (-II) or both together (-I/-II), which gives you the sought-after wall of sound.

The Moai gives you the possibility to create an individual mix of each generated octave and the original signal. To expand your soundscapes we added a serial bufferd FX-Loop at the clean path with a phase inverter to avoid phase cancelation when it
