Unterschätze niemals den Wert von hochwertigem Artwork – das hat KMA Audio Machines verstanden und versehen ihre Pedale regelmäßig mit John Baizley- und Skinner-inspirierten Kunstwerken. Das Auge spielt mit und das KMA Audio Machines Logan ist mit seinem dunkelgrünen Hintergrund und dem wölfischen Schamanen darauf keine Ausnahme. Das Verzerrer-Pedal soll vor allem mit zwei Aspekten punkten: die Reaktivität des Gains bei der Anschlagsdynamik und dem damit verbundene Headroom, der einen offenen, saturierten Sound gewährleisten soll. Bis zu 25 dB soll das Logan durch das Headroom-Design draufpacken können, womit das gute Stück in Preamp-Gefilde vorstößt. Es ist kein rückkopplungsfreudiges High-Gain-Pedal, sondern ein Tone-Shaper und Boost, der sich darauf konzentriert, Mitten und Bässe hervorzuheben. Treble und Bass verstärken den Sound um bis zu 15 dB, eignen sich also hervorragend dazu, bei einem größeren Cabinet ein ordentliches Fundament zu liefern. Die eigentliche Stärke des Logan liegt in der Flexibilität der Mitten – doch dazu später mehr.

Take a walk in the gritty dirt and breathe in the crystal-clear mountain air, exactly as Logan once did on his journey to glean the beauties of both nature and mankind. Once you hear Logan's sweet and graceful sounds you will be driven to find your own way into the transcendental tone kingdom. So plug-in and let Logan guide you into a new era of overdrive.

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)

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.

From the outset, KMA Machine’s goal was to create the most flexible analog upper octave pedal ever yet produced. Based on a highly refined and improved version of the Shriek circuit from our venerated MOAI MAEA pedal, the MANDRAKE brings an even more robust and present upper octave to the sonic table. By combining that upper-octave might with a versatile, yet highly intuitive user interface, the pedal provides a ton of killer tonal options in a very modern and pedalboard-friendly package.

Holy Spirit of the forest, the Fuzzly Bear fuzz pedal is here, so kick the Switch to unleash the beast!

The sound of this fuzz-pedal is influenced by an old rare and underrated fuzz box from the 1970s, the classic Jordan Boss Tone. The main reason though, why this pedal did not conquer the world of effects back in the day, was due to its massive lack of bass.
