My Ultimate Bass Rig - KMA

Tester

In-DepThe heart of the pedal is still the same essential filter sections, which splits your signal into different loops with HIGH PASS and LOW PASS paths both filters have a 12 dB/oct. roll-off with a variable cut-off frequency from 20 Hz to 3 kHz). The rest of the vital tonal organs have had a thorough upgrade, which has resulted in an improved noise floor too. So, let’s dive into everything that makes this pedal DELUXE.


Since the original TYLER was also used as an advanced AB/Y box by many, it was found that ground loops could occur - no more with TYLER DELUXE! Both SENDs are now transformer coupled (with TRIAD Magnetics) to give you a nice and warm saturation, while avoiding ground-loops (internal slide-switched ground-lift). To be prepared for almost every situation and every pedal, both loops also got their own phase inversion switch (+/-) to get rid of potential unwanted phase cancelation.


The next new must-have feature is there to ensure the transparency of your setup and because we know it's important to you and to us, we added the good old CLEAN blend.

So far so good, but the deluxe delights don’t stop here! A master phase-switch ensures a fixed and reliable interaction with your set filter-frequency in every situation, no matter if you either have a loop engaged or not. But wait, for all of you who wants to follow TYLER's evolution, we added another claimed feature. The LP-CUT and HP-CUT switches will now mute your loops when bypassed, which will give you tons of new options to be creative, by only using the engaged loops without having clean artefacts pass through when disengaging one of the loops.

Modern times brings modern needs, so TYLER DELUXE is now equipped with relay-based soft-switches, an internal step-up to increase the headroom for hotter input signals and low-noise op-amps to improve the overall sound-quality and usability.

Some examples of use: Bass players want to retain their low end while using their favourite fuzz or dirt pedal. Insert your dirt box in the highpass FX-Loop and adjust the cut-off frequency of the High and Low Pass to your needs. Dial in your preferred ratio of those Low and High Pass signals, engage the STEEL footswitch and you will never turn off TYLER again! You can also insert different modulation pedals, for example insert a lush phaser for the lows and a nice shimmering delay for the highs and TYLER will make it sound like two different guitars are playing at once. Mix up your modulation pedals with any dirt pedals, for a very pronounced and punchy sound all coming from one amp.  If there ever was a Swiss army knife for your tone, then TYLER DELUXE must surely be it. So, fire up your frequency saw and start defining your own unique sonic path.

Powered by an optional standard 9V DC (max.) PSU (negative center, 2.1mm, approx. 100mA current draw)

Tyler Deluxe

Your Tone Must Flow, so Tame the Terror
“The earth, once so tranquil and serene, started to shake more ominously than ever beneath her feet. After centuries of scaring the living daylights out of the ancestors, the monster-of-malice was back. She looked up with an imperious glance and faced her destiny, her irradiant eye focusing unwaveringly on the venerable creature ahead. Suddenly, the earth stood still and there fell a deep silence. She had tamed the beast! She was the long-foreseen saviour, the GUARDIAN of the WURM“

Fusing together the powerful evolution of KMA’s highly regarded WURM Distortion with an intuitive, yet versatile and ultra-fast Noise Gate, GUARDIAN of the WURM is the perfect metal monster. From chugging hard-rock, droning doom metal and grinding Swedish death metal, the beast abides. But through its highly tweakable control set, the pedal can be tamed to provide impeccable clarity to your riffs, making this the definitive dirt pedal for metal, prog-rock, shoegaze, indie and beyond.

Mit dem KMA Chief Disruptor schafft es ein neues Fuzz-Distortion-Pedal ins Portfolio der Berliner Boutique-Pedalschmiede. Als Vorbild dient mit dem Big Muff ein echter Klassiker des Gewerbes. Aber KMA wäre nicht KMA, wenn man dem Chief Disruptor nicht auch noch jede Menge Goodies unter der Haube eingepflanzt hätte. Worum es sich dabei handelt, wie der KMA Fuzz/Distortion performt und was seine größten Talente sind, wird dieser Test zeigen.

“Gazing from afar at the downfall of archaic sonic structures, a hooded being sat calmly on the cornerstone of legacy. For generations, instead of asking what the present actually screamed for, people had been blinded by the achievements of the past. That was before the CHIEF DISRUPTOR came along! All it took was the push of a single handle to tear down the ancient landmarks for good, not even passing a flinch as the explosion happened. Instead, a feeling of hope began to saturate the entire being, manifesting in an endlessly sustaining smile on their face. It’s finally time for a new era of crushing tones. It’s time for the age of the CHIEF DISRUPTOR"

MOAI MAEA is KMA Machines’ homage to the powerful analog octaver tones of yesteryear. The pedal generates one higher octave and up to two sub-octaves, helping you create massive walls of synthy sound from a single note.

The MOAI MAEA’s upper octave section has an edgy and fuzzy character which is reminiscent of the iconic late ‘60s early ‘70s octave-up tones, as used by legends like Hendrix or The Stooges.
The sub-octave section turns your guitar into a filthy sub bass with ground shaking lows. Choose between either the first (-I), the second (-II) or both sub-octaves together (-I/-II), for an absolutely bone-breakingly heavy subsonic attack.

“Floating above your head, delicate and elusive yet dreamy and sweeping. Always in motion until it dissolves and merges with the all immersive atmosphere around it. Just close your eyes and let the KMA Machines’ CIRRUS Delay and Reverb carry you across the open sky, onto its sonic cloudscapes.”

The CIRRUS Spatial-Temporal Modifier was KMA Machines’ first step into the fully digital realm. But we didn’t just want to do a regular and run-of-the-mill type of product. No, what we came up with is a truly special and versatile, dynamically modulated combined Delay and Reverb pedal that will forever change your perception of time and space.

Minos ist viel mehr als bloße Nachbildungen dieser Klassiker, es ist ein vielseitiges Werkzeug für viele verschiedene Arten von Fuzz-Sounds und -Musik. Mit dem INPUT-Regler können Sie die perfekte Menge an Pre-Gain und Bass-Eingang einstellen. Drehen Sie ihn nach links und Sie erhalten einen kernigen und knackigen Overdrive-Ton, der perfekt für Garage und Blues ist, während Sie ihn in die andere Richtung drehen, um einen dicken und wolligen Fuzz zu erhalten. Unser Versuch mit dem „Tonebender“-artigen Pedal bietet jedoch eine viel breitere Palette an Gain-Strukturen. Durchstreifen Sie alle Schattierungen schmutziger Töne, von der rauhen Low-Gain-Verzerrung bis hin zu dickem, wütendem Fuzz.

Much more than just mere recreations of these classics, Minos is a versatile tool for many different styles of fuzz sounds and music. With the INPUT control, you can dial in the perfect amount of pre-gain and bass input. Turn it to the left and it gives you a gritty and crisp overdriven tone, which is perfect for garage and blues, while turning it in the other direction gives you a thick and woolly fuzz. Our attempt of the ‘Tonebender-ish’ style of pedal has a much broader range of gain structures though. Sweep through any shades of dirty tone, from raunchy low gain distortion to thick angry fuzz.

KMA Machines bring you Tyler – The Frequency Splitter. The ultimate tool for developing new sounds and pushing your creativity to new unprecedented heights.

Tyler is an active and variable two channel crossover/signal splitter, which divides your signal with HIGH PASS and LOW PASS paths. Both filters have a 12db/Oct. roll-off with a variable cut-off frequency from 20Hz to 3kHz. Each channel has its own foot-switchable buffered FX-Loop to process your lows (WOOD) or your highs (STEEL) with independent effects loops in parallel.
