KMA Machines Chief Disruptor - Fundamental Fuzz/Distortion Pedal

Fuzz/Distortion Pedal with Switchable Mid EQ/Boost Welcome to a new era of the most iconic fuzz/distortion sound the world has ever known. You know, that epically huge and super saturated tone (some might call it big and muffy) that has defined the signature sound of so many artists and countless records in the past few decades. It’s arguably one of the pedals with the biggest impact on the entire industry, which has seen it modified over and over and over again.

So much that you think it’s all been done, right? Oh boy do the guys at KMA have a surprise for you here! Holding three different Gain Modes, a pre- or post-EQ Clean Blend, active Bass and Treble controls, a foot-switchable and expression-controllable parametric Mid-EQ as well as a switchable top-boost for even more raspy, grinding bite, Chief Disruptor is the most flexible, beautifully balanced and LOUDEST muff-style pedal you’ll ever hear!

'a new era of crushing tones'“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!”

three major distinctive gain structuresOver the years, different muff drives had different levels of gain, so KMA derived three major distinctive gain structures all based on what the guys at KMA consider to be the best versions. The Vintage Mode (VTG) will give you every shade of discrete overdrive, while the Tight Mode will give a more focused and modern tone with less bass and super crisp harmonics. Heavy Mode is the essence of what we all love about muffs. Heavy, sustaining and crazy thick fuzzy distortion, with bone-shaking lows and chewy mids. Just crank the Disruption (Gain) Control and you’ll know exactly what KMA is talking about here!
