KMA Machines Tyler Frequency Splitter

Full Description

Frequency Splitter

The KMA Machines Tyler pedal is a unique device that acts like a PA crossover; it separates your high frequency signal from the low-end. The Tyler allows each part of the frequency spectrum to be manipulated independently. The LOW PASS and HIGH PASS controls let you precisely set the crossover frequency, while the MIX control allows you to set the ratio of the two signals, from 100 low to 100 high, and every setting in-between. Both filters have a 12db/Oct. roll-off with a variable cut-off frequency from 20Hz to 3kHz.

FX Loops

Each signal path is sent to independent FX loops before being routed to the output. Each FX loop is completely isolated and buffered, with a reverse polarity and internal trim pots to remove any phase/level issues. These FX loops are the secret to the Tyler's potential; they allow you to send the high and low range signals to independent effects processors, giving you unlimited scope for sound experimentation.

Independent Switching

Each signal path can be engaged using independent footswitches for the ultimate in live performance control.

Practical Applications

This pedal has unlimited applications, but here are just a few suggestions to let you imagine the potential of the KMA Machines Tyler.

• Bass players who want to retain their low end while using their favourite fuzz or dirt pedal: connect your fuzz pedal in the high-pass FX loop for instant signal clarity.
• Alternate modulation for high and low parts of your sound: plug in a different modulation pedal / reverb effect in each FX loop for independent high/low processing.
• Sound like two guitars: plug the FX loop outputs into separate amplifiers/drive pedals for a different tonal response in different parts of the spectrum.
