Expertly Built

Whether you are looking to switch the mono input signal using two separate outputs or switch or combine two separate input signals into one output, the KMA Machines ABY pedal is a dependable, expertly built-pedal designed to help you on your quest.

True Bypass means Silent Switching!

Created with a focus on durability, reliability, simplicity, and hassle-free operation, this passive ABY switcher features True Bypass active silent relay-based soft switching to reduce mechanical noise and unwanted pops and clicks when in use.

The actual switching is taken care of with the reliable and sturdy soft switches as a separate active circuit. By employing this switching technology, mechanical noise is greatly reduced, as is the risk of those pesky loud clicks and pops that have plagued so many boards and have haunted so many musicians, since the inception of ABY boxes.

The Bear’s Eyes Light Up – How Awesome Is That?

The 3 distinct LEDs serve a practical purpose; to show you what signal path quickly and easily you’ve selected at a glance. Red for A, Yellow for B, and Blue in the center for A&B.

So, will you choose option A or option B?

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.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
