If you've ever cranked the gain on your favourite amp or distortion pedal, you'll be familiar with the amount of hiss and noise that is present. The KMA Machines Pylon is an advanced, multi-functional and super-versatile noise gate pedal that tames unwanted noise, whilst maintaining and reinforcing your natural sound and attack.

Featuring an ultra-fast gate with a smooth trigger, the Pylon is equally suited for fast chugging palm-muted playing as well as long decaying notes. An integrated boost section gives you up to 30 dB of extra gain while an external trigger input allows the Pylon to be switched remotely or triggered by an external source, enhancing and balancing your rig.  The Pylon also boasts an effects loop, allowing you to isolate noisy pedals from your signal chain, which means you will hear less of the unwanted noise and more of what matters…you!

The KMA Machines Pylon is so much more than a typical utilitarian noise gate pedal. It will completely transform your whole rig and let your tone flow!

Boost Pedals

Boost pedals increase your signal level, helping solos stand out, pushing an amplifier harder or adding extra presence to your tone. Some boosts are clean and transparent, while others add colour, midrange, grit or brightness depending on the circuit design.

A boost pedal can be used before overdrive to add saturation, after drive pedals for a volume lift, or at the start of the chain to strengthen the guitar signal. It is one of the simplest but most useful pedals for live players and tone-shapers alike.

Noise Gate Pedals

Noise gates and suppressor pedals help control unwanted hum, hiss and high-gain noise when you are not playing. They are especially useful with distortion, fuzz, compression and complex pedalboards where background noise can build up quickly.

Used carefully, a noise gate can make stops tighter, reduce distractions and give a rig a cleaner, more professional feel. The best setting is usually one that removes unwanted noise without cutting off sustain or making the guitar feel unnatural.

Boost

Boost pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Boost related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
