KMA Machines SAM Supply Aid Machine Power Extension Pedal

Product Description

KMA Machines SAM, short for Supply Aid Machine, is small but effective at reviving your vintage FX units and supplying your pedal of choice with more juice.

Just feed SAM a standard 9 V or 12 V DC outlet (negative-centre pin) from your power supply unit, or a standard power adapter and it will give you one power output with -9 V DC and one with 18 V DC. Each output delivers up to 100 mA, enough to feed several pedals via a daisy chain. By using the 18 V DC output, SAM will breathe new life into your favorite drive and distortion pedals capable of handling increased voltages, by greatly improving their dynamics and headroom. KMA simply love old fuzz boxes and know all about the - 9 V DC power supply problem that can plague some old designs. Hence they felt obligated to solve that with SAM by giving you the possibility to put your vintage fuzz pedal on your board without using an extra power adapter. It will avoid error sources and you can get rid of batteries. Win Win!

There’s no need to be afraid of sacrificing one of the 9 V or 12 V DC outlets on your power supply either. SAM provides an output which will link through the 9/12 V input from your PSU, so you can keep supplying standard power as well. So, as you can see, SAM is an all-in-one solution to improve your power supply system on the fly. Small - Smart - SAM.

Powered by an optional standard 9 - 12 V DC PSU (negative center, 2.1 mm, approx. 20 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.
