KMA Machines ABY Stereo Pedal

consistent connectivityThere’s nothing new about an ABY pedal. They’re a very commonly used accessory and a staple part of many setups out there. But if they are so common, then why is it so difficult to find one in a stereo format that’s well built, noise-free AND affordable? This is a question KMA kept encountering as they use many stereo devices daily, plus they know that a lot of users are completely mesmerised by the wide sonic worlds of stereo. So, KMA made a killer stereo ABY switcher to use here at their workshop. In the process they found it so useful that they decided to make it available to the world too in a pedal format.

If you’re looking to switch or combine your stereo input signal between two separate destinations or switch or combine two separate stereo input signals into a single output, the KMA Machines STEREO ABY pedal is a dependable little helper for your tonal quest. Created with a focus on durability, reliability, simplicity and hassle-free operation, this passive ABY switcher also features True Bypass active silent relay-based soft switching to reduce mechanical noise and unwanted pops and clicks when in use. So, all you have to do is choose your path and perform!

It’s compact, rugged, lightweight, durable, affordable and can be powered via a standard 9V DC power supply, and it just looks awesome.

Quality componentsKMA’s STEREO ABY features a fully passive design for the best signal integrity, along with True Bypass active silent relay-based soft switching. While that might be a hell of a wordy mouthful, what it means practically is that the audio signal itself is entirely untouched and without any colouration. You can also use the device in either direction, for sending to different sets of amps or effects or for switching inputs/instruments/devices into your chain. However, the actual switching is taken care of by our reliable and sturdy soft switches as a separate active circuit.
