KMA Machines GEMINUS Stereo True Double Tracker

I’ve been aware of and demoing the sonic creations from KMA Machines for over 10 years now, and am excited to have another of their pedals for you all today. The GEMINUS Stereo True Double Tracker beefs up your sound in a smooth and inviting sort of way, producing chorus and modulation tones, as well as doubling up your notes. This golden gem sounds awesome spread over a stereo field, let’s dive in and see what it’s all about!!

Enabled via the soft bypass footswitch, GEMINUS accurately replicates the minor differences that exist between two separate recordings. The TDT WIDTH control spreads your doubled tracks, anywhere from completely centred (0%) to 50% left and right (centre indent) and 100% left and right split. KMA has carried out extensive research on how to make double tracking sound exactly how they think it should perform. In the process, they’ve spent thousands of engineering hours working on their own proprietary technology, even developing a custom neural network AI with onset detection in the process for their algorithms.

To help tailor the Doubling to your own taste, the TIME control changes the timing range of the doubled AI-driven onset detection. Essentially, it’s all about the tightness of the doubled signal to fit differing playing styles. Variable from an extra tight mode, that’s perfect for extra fast riffs, to a looser timing that can just the right amount of density to more open playing styles, this control is a powerful weapon to make your riffs fit your musical goals. The centre detent is GEMINUS’ default factory position, but turning the knob left will give a tighter feel. Crank the knob to the right and the doubled signal becomes much more relaxed.

While the LEVEL control affects the balance of the doubled signal against the original source. Useful for those times where you might want maximum width, but a little less (or even more) of the sound to be doubled against the original. Finally, the new PITCH selector switch can add some additional movement to your doubled signal, extending the usefulness of GEMINUS beyond standard doubling. When the switch is at the centre default position (-) there is no pitch adjustment, (~) adds some subtle modulation, while (≈) adds even more wobble. In this mode, it doesn’t mean that your second guitarist will sound like they are off on a quest for enlightenment all on their own (!), it is just super handy for those times when you want more chaos and instability in your ensemble.

To top it all off, KMA has added a switchable real True/Buffered bypass and ‘silent’ relay-based soft switching. Whether playing live or recording with a single instrument, GEMINUS is the perfect solution for adding “fatness” and “width” to your performances – it really does feel like you are playing the same riff twice! Head over to the KMA Machines website for more info, and grab one of these beauties for yourself…after you check out our demo, of course!!
