Utility pedal launches are rarely exciting events - while on this occasion we have some cool colour accents to brighten things up a touch - and an appealing bear motif design graphics design. These pedals are made to the highest quality standards in Berlin, Germany - yet remain affordable and accessible.

 

These are obviously your classic consistent connectivity omnidirectional 2>1 / 1>2 pedasls. Going from Mono rig to 2 / Stereo Channels, or say 2 guitars plugged into the same chain for Mono edition - and Dual Stereo Channels for the AB/Y Stereo variant.

 

The KMA AB/Y pedal - as pictured above - comes in Mono edition with one row of 3 ports, and doubles down (6 ports) for the Stereo variety. These are properly silent switching and incredibly smooth in the transition - with highest quality operation throughout. Most utility pedals are fairly industrial in look and nature - and stripped of any character or finesse - while KMA has managed to do something slightly more refined for the format.

 

These are very well priced at $79.99 | €79 | £69 for the Mono AB/Y Edition, while the Stereo AB/Y, obviously with twice as many ports, is at $129.99 | €129 | £109.

 

Were I in the market for an AB/Y unit - then I would for sure start my search here - the combination of price, quality and sleek format is unbeatable really at this level of quality.
