I first feature KMA Machines Utility Pedals back in 2023 - the AB/Y and Stereo AB/Y - which are also in this presumably honed and improved in these 2025 editions.

We have the almost identical looking AB/Y and Stereo AB/Y pedals, here joined by a new Dual Loop Switcher.

You can guarantee high fidelity and superior electronics from the Berlin-based outfit.

I know Utility Pedals aren’t a particularly exciting category - but these brightly lit examples are most definitely the droids you are looking for.

Should be fairly widely available from this announcement - including of course Thomann!

Here follow the individual details ;
