KMA Machines Chief Disruptor is an extremely versatile Muff-style fuzz/distortion that combines the familiar thick, saturated fuzz character with far more control than a traditional fuzz pedal. With three different gain modes – Vintage, Tight and Heavy – its range extends from dynamic low-gain drive and classic fuzz to tighter modern distortion and massive, sustain-rich high-gain sounds. The Disruption control covers a wide gain range, making it equally suitable for more subtle drive tones and heavy doom and fuzz sounds.
For shaping your tone, it features an active Bass and Treble EQ with up to 15 dB of boost or cut, plus a separate parametric Mid EQ. The mids can be activated with their own footswitch, while the center frequency is fully adjustable. You can even control this frequency with an expression pedal for wah-like or phaser-style sweeps while playing. In addition, the Top-Boost adds extra bite and harmonics, while the Clean Blend can be positioned before or after the EQ to retain definition and a tight low end at extreme gain settings.
Thanks to its stacked headroom topology, the CHIEF DISRUPTOR also provides plenty of output without sacrificing the punch of the active EQ. Internal trimpots offer additional control over the Mid Q and Top-Boost level. The pedal features relay-based soft switching with true bypass, runs on a standard 9V DC center-negative power supply, and is built in Berlin. KMA specifies a maximum current draw of approximately 160 mA.
KMA Machines is a German manufacturer of creative and distinctive effects pedals, based in Berlin. Founded by Enrico Preuß, the company has grown into a notable name in the European boutique pedal scene. KMA combines analogue circuitry with modern functionality and distinctive visual design. Rather than simply recreating classic guitar tones, the brand focuses on adding new possibilities and giving musicians more ways to shape their sound.
Broad range
The KMA Machines range covers everything from fuzz, distortion and overdrive to modulation, delay and advanced stereo effects. Pedals such as the WURM, Guardian of the Wurm, Cirrus and Endgame are great examples of what KMA is all about: extensive control, original circuits and features that go well beyond those of a traditional effects pedal. KMA also offers interesting solutions for guitarists working with stereo rigs, parallel effects chains and more complex pedalboards.
Clever options
One of the defining characteristics of KMA Machines is that its pedals remain practical despite their extensive features. Many models offer clever routing options, expression control, effects loops or comprehensive tone shaping without requiring you to dive through complicated menus. Their striking artwork and rugged enclosures also give KMA pedals an instantly recognisable look.
KMA Machines is therefore an excellent choice for guitarists and bassists who enjoy experimenting and want to get more out of their pedalboard. From heavy fuzz and metal distortion to atmospheric delay and stereo processing, KMA creates effects pedals for musicians looking to develop a sound of their own.
