KMA Audio Machines combine premium German engineering with a genuine love for tone. With every pedal handmade in Berlin, KMA use only the best components available to ensure that their pedals deliver cutting-edge tones with plenty of flexibility. Whilst taking inspiration from classic, vintage units; KMA design all of their own circuits to modern and forward-thinking standards.

Plenty of Octaves

The Moai Maea from KMA Audio 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 vintage '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 lets you decide if you want just the first or second sub-octaves, or you can have both engaged to achieve an engulfing wall of sound. And with the upper and sub-octaves having their own dedicated footswitches, 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!

Specialist Effects Pedals

Specialist effects alter the signal in ways that do not sit cleanly inside one established family. They may use granular processing, frequency shifting, resonators, freeze or sustain, bit reduction, ring modulation, feedback networks or combinations of several techniques. The relevant distinction is the underlying process, its tracking or latency, and how completely the dry signal can be blended or replaced.

Tags

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.
