KMA Machines has published product images of its Active ABY pedal, uploaded in November 2025, showing the unit from the front, with the LEDs lit, from both sides, the back and the bottom1.
The pedal is an active ABY box that sends one input to two outputs, separately or combined, or two inputs to one output, separately or combined; KMA calls it omnidirectional for 2 into 1 or 1 into 2 operation1. An A&B>Y or Y>A&B switch sets the direction, and a phase switch flips the A channel by 180 degrees, which KMA says can prevent signal cancellation and tone issues in some setups when combining or splitting signals1. Three LEDs show the selected path: red for A, yellow for B and blue in the center for A&B1. KMA lists true bypass and active silent CMOS-based soft switching, which it says heavily reduces mechanical noise1.
KMA describes the Active ABY as an addition to its Passive ABY and says the active buffer can help with level mismatches or signal loss from long cable runs1. The jacks are top-mounted, and the enclosure measures 56 mm high, 112 mm wide and 65 mm deep, with a weight of 185 g1. It runs on a 9 V DC supply, center negative, 2.1 mm, with a maximum current draw given as more than 55 mA1. It is made in Berlin, Germany, and carries EAN/UPC13 06516502490991. KMA lists a quick start guide for the ABY series1. No US price is given on the page1.
"With KMA's high quality active buffer, the pedal can also help with level mismatches or signal loss due to long cable runs."
The Active ABY sits in the maker's ABY series, which KMA says was created with a focus on durability, reliability, simplicity and hassle-free operation1. KMA also makes an Active Stereo ABY1. The Active ABY is listed among the site's switching pedals.
