KMA Machines Queequeg 2 Subgenerator Demo
Рет қаралды 24,411
Күн бұрынGuitar demo of the latest analog suboctave machine by KMA Machines, the Queequeg 2 Subgenerator.
Available for purchase at: thepedalzone.c...
Queequeg 2 expands on KMA’s simple yet sublime analog suboctave machine by adding two new octave modes to the mix and greatly improving the monophonic tracking. Besides the classic one octave down, you now get access to an earth-shakingly deep two octaves below, as well as a combination of the two for extra thick synth-like tones. On top of that the hardware has been modernized with top-mounted I/Os and silent relay switching, letting you achieve old-school analog tones in a pedal fit for any modern rig.

This is the essence of sublime simplicity! Man this pedal sounds huge! Hope you enjoy the bold and thunderous tones as much as I did. If you're looking for a killer analog monophonic sub machine, then this is it, people!

Yeah, KMA are on fire. This pedal is just beautiful. And thank you so much for the kind words about the Vintage Feelz section. That's my personal favorite example as well. It was an instant nostalgia trip the second I discovered that tone 😊

Thank you! Pedals were made to interact with each other, so I'm happy to hear you appreciate that part of the demo process. I really enjoy exploring as many sonic avenues as possible. On its own, the Queequeg 2 is fairly "neutral" and subtle, but once you start combining it with some dirt and modulation, you can really hear how much boldness and life it can breathe into a sound.

It does sound huge. Similar to the OC2 with a harmonic character to the sound, but with a bit more grit. I take my hat off to KMA. Another engineering triumph from them, and another superb Riff & Run Stefan.

Holy cow, you wouldn’t believe the analogue octave scene in the bass realm. We’ve got a few pedals that capture the magic, some quite rare and fetching $500+. I was considering rehousing my boss OC-2 with top jacks and modern switching. KMA freaking built the thing to a T! In a killer design to boot. Now I can move my unobtaineum and get the Meris Mercury7 I’ve been eying.

Bought it and ended up using it twice and putting it back in the box. The highest tuning i play in is drop b and my main guitar is in drop f. The pedal works for anything on the higher strings but wont play anything lower. Shiuldve thought about that before I bought it though so thats on me. If I played up in standard it would probably be awesome so anyone who downtunes, this probably isnt the pedal for you

I just wish Enrico was making the trip back over for NAMM in June. Speaking of which, I’ll be there (fly in the 1st and back out the 6th), tell me you’re going too? I misssssss youuuuuuu!?!?!

Good guessing, sir :) Enrico really took his suboctave design to the next level here. It's so much better than the original one. And the artwork on it is just to die for! Regarding NAMM, I don't know if I'm going. It's gonna be a tough one to wrangle, so I think the chances are slim this year. But hopefully next year. Miss you too, bud!

@thepedalzone 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much! I was really happy with how it sounded together with a bitcrusher as well. Well, this is basically the suboctave part of Moai Maea in a smaller package and with slightly better tracking. So if you just need suboctaves, and don't need the individual mix knobs for each octave and dry signal, then Queequeg 2 is a stellar alternative.

@thepedalzone 7 ай бұрын
Where do you have it placed in the chain? Analog octave pedals should always be placed as one of the first pedals in the chain, in order to get the best note tracking. The sound and tracking of the pedal will also depend on what pickup position you're using and where on the neck you're playing. You can also try to roll back the Tone pot on your guitar a bit, when playing through the pedal, as that will remove upper harmonics that can sometimes make the pedal glitch. Oh, and remember... analog octave pedals like Queequeg are monophonic. If you try to play chords through it, it will glitch out as it's not designed for polyphonic playing.

@thepedalzone 2 жыл бұрын
Well, if chords are important to you with this kind of effect, then definitely get a polyphonic octaver. Personally, I don't like using sub octaves with chords. It just makes things sound muddy, whereas Octave up, and harmony effects I prefer to be polyphonic. I also like that the monophonic aspect takes me out of my open chord comfort zone and forces me to play differently. Limitations breathe creativity :) Stoked that you find the pedal appealing despite its monophonic nature
