original signal. To expand your soundscapes we
added a serial bufferd FX-Loop at the clean path with
a phase inverter to avoid phase cancelation when it
comes to signal mixing.
Each octave section is footswitchable.
You can turn on and off the higher octave by jumping
on the SHRIEK switch and the sub-octave by the
DRONE switch.

MO I M E –nalog Octaver
For thousands of years they tower over the green
meadows along the coast and the hillside of Rapa Nui:
MOAI MAEA, silent and solemn—venerated and
mystified by a long forgotten ancient culture.
It will let you feel the droning and shrieking of the
mighty erupting Rano Raraku where the MOAI MAEA
were born.
The MOAI MAEA is KMA Audio Machines’ answer to
long forgotten analog octaver sounds to generate a
huge wall of sound by playing just one note.
It generates one higher octave and up to two sub-
octaves. The higher octave has an edgy and fuzzy
character which is reminiscent of old seventy octave
up sounds like Hendrix or The Stooges. The sub-
octaves turn your guitar into a filthy bass guitar with
ground shaking lows. We added a sub-octave mode
switch for more versatility. Choose between either
the first (-I), the second (-II) or both together (-I/-II),
which gives you the sought-after wall of sound.
The MOAI MAEA gives you the possibility to create an
individual mix of each generated octave and the
