January 1, 2024 · 1 sources

KMA Machines released the ENDGAME, which it describes as a flexible and comprehensive solution for the end of a signal chain, at NAMM 2024. The maker says the unit "was released to huge acclaim at NAMM 2024"1.

The ENDGAME is a stereo unit combining cabinet simulation, power amp simulation and doubling. Its features, as listed by the maker, include a foot-switchable stereo effects loop, dual cabinet simulation (a DROAC IR loader with 3 Celestion Digital powered presets and 2 user slots), an ambience control for room simulation, a foot-switchable True Double-Tracker with a width knob, and switchable tube power amp simulation with 6L6, EL34 and KT88 options1. The maker also lists flexible internal signal routing, a high-impedance analog input with variable input level (+/-24 dB), an input direct thru connection, an aux input (Bluetooth or 3.5 mm stereo analog) with aux/main mix control, dual headphone outputs with level control, stereo balanced XLR DI outputs with ground lift and variable level (mic, instrument, +4 dBu), stereo 6.35 mm balanced TRS outputs, and USB C for loading user impulse responses and software updates1.

KMA also announced the ENDGAME, SHADOW EDITION, a limited run in a blacked-out finish. The maker says only 200 units will be built and made available via selected retail partners, and that apart from the color and artwork it is "exactly the same as the regular ENDGAME in terms of all of its killer functions," with the new V2 software installed1. The maker's page now states that this limited edition product is no longer available1.

"Only 200 ENDGAME, SHADOW EDITION units will be built and made available via selected retail partners."
