Boutique German pedal makers KMA Audio Machines combine German engineering and innovation to create truly awe inspiring effects. Each pedal is hand made in Berlin using only the finest components, delivering exceptional tone for a every player. With modern, innovative circuits, KMA is continuously looking forward, whilst drawing inspiration from legendary pedals from bygone eras.

Vintage Inspired

The Guardian of the Wurm is the next evolution of KMA's top selling Wurm distortion pedal. Based on the circuit of the cult classic Boss HM-2 pedal, the Guardian of the Wurm is a "filthy box of doom" that effortless delivers that Swedish death-metal chainsaw sound! The addition of a built in Blackmer® VCA-based Noise Gate ensures that this face melting distortion stays clear and tight, with background noise and hiss kept to a minimum.

Complete Tone Shaping

The Guardian of the Wurm features a highly configurable 4-band Active EQ, with variable centre-frequencies allowing for complete tone shaping. Whether you need that classic heavily mid-scooped distortion, or a gritty, in your face "chainsaw" like sound, the Guardian of the Wurm has you covered. The Clean Blend feature helps preserve your natural core tone by allowing you to blend in your unprocessed signal. This is particularly useful when using the "Wurm" with an already overdriven amp as it retains your natural pick attack and keeps it sounding tight.

Variable Clipping Styles

The Guardian of the Wurm features three unique clipping styles which determine the amount of drive compression. Silicon (Si) mode delivers the original Boss HM-2 like compression, for rich harmonics and smooth leads. Asymmetric (A-S) mode increases the headroom, giving you more grit and bite by retaining the complex harmonics. Finally, OFF mode lifts the sound of the Diodes for a less compressed distortion with more clarity, which is perfect for baritone or bass guitars.

Modern Features

The Guardian of the Wurm is all about flexibility. The External Trigger Input allows you to control the built in Noise Gate from an external source which is perfect for those who like to experiment with noise gates in other creative ways. The built in FX-Loop is located between the distortion and noise gate sections, allowing you to plug in your favourite effects between them.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion pedals create a heavier, more aggressive gain sound than most overdrive pedals, giving guitarists the sustain, bite and saturation needed for rock, punk, metal and hard-hitting lead tones. They can turn a clean amp into a high-gain platform or add an extra layer of intensity to an already driven sound.

Some distortion pedals are tight and modern, while others are raw, fizzy or vintage-inspired. Choosing the right one depends on whether you want chunky rhythm tones, singing sustain, scooped metal sounds or a classic hard-rock voice with plenty of attack.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.
