Product Description
The KMA Machines Dead Stag is based on one of the most classic discrete fuzz/distortion circuits in pedal history. This design has been built into countless versions by many pedal builders along the last forty odd years, however KMA wanted to take the evolution further than ever before and give you a Big Muff style pedal, but one with many more tonal options and smart features to make as versatile a fuzz/distortion pedal as possible.
Beneath the active Bass/Treble EQ with a 15 db cut/boost, KMA designed a parametric mid EQ with a 12 db cut/boost between 400 Hz and 2.4 kHz. Apart from the internal Q Bandwidth control, every EQ control is on top of the pedal which gives you a ton of tonal options. From a thick low-end rumble or spitty mid-range, to scooped mids or a low mid hump, everything is possible. The MUD control sets up the grade of distortion, while GROWL controls the overall volume. In addition, you can choose between two gain levels with the high/low switch and give your high mids a boost at the end of the circuit by the smooth/sharp switch.
Powered by an optional standard 9 - 18 V DC PSU (negative center, 2.1 mm, approx. 12 mA current draw)
Every pedal is designed, assembled, silkscreened, tested and numbered by hand in KMA's small workshop. Doublesided PCBs are designed, tested and assembled by KMA, to guarantee a high quality standard and keep the price of the pedals reasonable. The use of an indestructible powdercoated die-cast enclosure ensures a maximum durability.
