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?

Key Features

  • True Bypass – Put the KMA EB/Y Switcher in your signal chain with no loss of signal.
  • Many Switching Options – You can use the device in either direction, for sending to different sets of amps or effects or for switching inputs/ instruments/devices into your chain.

KMA Audio Machines

In the current JustPedals catalogue, KMA Audio Machines is represented by Distortion Pedals, Noise Gate Pedals and Amp & Cab Simulator Pedals. Current listings include KMA Machines AB/Y Switcher, KMA Machines Active ABY Mono and KMA Machines Active Stereo ABY.

Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Category

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

True Bypass

True bypass removes the effect circuit from the audio path when bypassed, usually by mechanical, relay or switching circuitry. This can preserve the direct signal but does not automatically solve long-cable loading, and it may create a pop or leave no buffer for the rest of the board. Check the actual switching method, trails or spillover, input and output loading and the number of other true-bypass pedals in the chain.
