An amazing pedal to enhance your sound. The KMA Machines Queequeg will be a vital friend to you and your music. Experience a freakish level of depth and intensity in your playing like you've never heard before.
The Queequeg sub-octave pedal takes the frequency of your playing and halves it, "doubling down" your original playing and then replicating it simultaneously an octave lower. The result of your original playing coupled with the doubled down output from the pedal is a crude, sexy, commanding overall sound that gives your music more raw potency than you can possibly imagine.
Named after the cannibalistic, vicious harpooner from Moby Dick who used to plumb the darkest, farthest regions of the ocean to find a whale to slay, the Queequeg will give your playing the brutal, chasmic depth you've always yearned for.
The Queequeg is simple. Anyone can use it, as it is unbelievably easy to operate. Therein lies its brilliance. Because when you're wanting to inject exhilarating energy into your music, the last thing you want is to have to tweak and tinker to achieve the sound you want.
Handmade in Berlin, KMA's Queequeg is a straightforward analog pedal with one function and one function only: generating electrifying sub-octave tones. A single control knob dictating how big you want the effect to be makes the pedal effortless to use, letting you concentrate on ripping audiences apart with your gigantic sound.
You might not realise it, but sub-octave effects are used throughout rock music's most popular tunes. Jimi Hendrix used the effect to deliver the guitar solo on the brilliant "Purple Haze" with added punch and aggression. Prince used it for the same reason on "When Doves Cry". Jack White created one of the most iconic, recognisable riffs in music history by employing the effect to make his electric guitar sound simultaneously like a bass on The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army".
KMA's Queequeg is perhaps the most powerful sub-octave generator yet. It's time to get deep.
