The KMA Audio Machines Moai Maea is an analog octaver pedal designed to produce a wide range of octave tones. It generates one higher octave with a fuzzy character, reminiscent of late '60s and early '70s octave-up tones, and up to two sub-octaves, effectively creating a massive wall of sound from a single note. The pedal features three modes, including the higher octave, the first sub-octave, the second sub-octave, or a combination of both sub-octaves.
The Moai Maea offers the following technical specifications:
- Effect Type: Analog Octaver
- Technology: Analog
- Mono / Stereo: Mono In, Mono Out
- Controls: OC+1, OC-1, OC-2, Clean
- Bypass Mode: True Bypass
- Power Supply: 9 VDC, Center negative
- Battery Type: 9 V Block
- Housing Size: Medium Size
- Also Suitable for Bass: Yes
- Boutique Effect: Yes
- Country of Origin: Germany
- Internal trimming for fuzz part and volume of the High Octave
- Internal DIP switch for phase invert
- FX loop in the clean signal path for looping in external effect pedals
The pedal also includes a serial buffered FX loop in the clean path and a phase inverter to prevent phase cancellation when mixing signals. Each octave section is foot-switchable, allowing for precise control over the generated octaves and the original signal mix.
The Moai Maea is handmade in Berlin, Germany, and features true-bypass switching. It is powered by an optional 9V PSU with a current draw of approximately 20mA.
Additionally, the pedal offers the possibility to create an individual mix of each generated octave and the original signal, providing expanded soundscapes for the user.
