Moai Maea
Towering over the sonic landscape like the enigmatic Moai statues of Rapa Nui, the KMA Audio Machines Moai Maea is a captivating fusion of vintage octaver and fuzz tones. Harnessing the primal power of analog circuitry, this pedal summons the shrieking, droning sounds of a volcanic eruption, transporting you to a sonic realm where the boundaries between guitar and bass blur. At its core, the Moai Maea offers a versatile array of octave effects, delivering one higher octave and up to two sub-octaves. The higher octave has an edgy, fuzzy character reminiscent of classic 1970s octave-up tones, perfect for channeling the spirit of Jimi Hendrix or The Stooges. The sub-octaves, on the other hand, transform your guitar into a thunderous low-end behemoth, shaking the very foundation with its ground-rumbling lows. Expanding on this sonic alchemy, the Moai Maea features a sub-octave mode switch, allowing you to blend the first, second, or both sub-octaves, unleashing a towering wall of sound. To further sculpt your tone, the pedal provides individual volume controls for each generated octave, as well as a clean signal path with a serial buffered FX loop and phase inverter. Foot-switchable octave sections give you the ability to seamlessly transition between the higher octave "Shriek" and the sub-octaves "Drone," empowering you to craft ever-evolving sonic landscapes. Embrace the mystique and power of the Moai Maea, and let your guitar become a conduit for the primal forces of the earth.
