Product Information

Full details

The KMA Machines Queequeg 2 Sub Generator is an analogue monophonic suboctave effect pedal designed for guitarists, bassists, and synth players seeking to add deep, rumbling low-end frequencies. Its key benefit is the ability to introduce one or two sub-octaves, offering a wide range of tonal possibilities from subtle thickening to extreme depth. A potential caveat is its analogue nature, which may require a slight adjustment for those accustomed to digital polyphonic octave effects.

FAQs

Can the Queequeg 2 track chords?

The Queequeg 2 is a monophonic suboctaver, meaning it is designed to track single notes or simple intervals most accurately. It may not reliably track complex chords.

What power supply do I need?

You need a standard 9V DC power supply with a center-negative plug, capable of delivering at least 100mA.

Can I mix the two sub-octave signals?

Yes, the Queequeg 2 allows you to switch between and mix the two distinct sub-octave voices to achieve your desired sound.

Does it work with synthesizers?

Absolutely. The Queequeg 2 works equally well on guitar, bass, and synthesizers, adding substantial low-end to synth bass lines and leads.

What is the difference between Queequeg and Queequeg 2?

The Queequeg 2 updates the original with a new appearance, an additional sub-octave, and the ability to switch and mix between the two sub-octave signals. It also features top-mounted jacks and relay-based soft switching.

Where is the best place to put the Queequeg 2 in my pedal chain?

While it can work in various positions, placing it at the beginning of your effects chain or before overdrive and distortion pedals often yields the best results for preserving the integrity of the sub-octave signal.

Troubleshooting

No sound when pedal is engaged

Check that the power supply is correctly connected and providing sufficient voltage/current. Ensure cables are securely plugged into the input and output jacks.

Weak or distorted sub-octave signal

Verify that the pedal is receiving adequate power. Ensure your input signal is strong enough. Try placing the pedal earlier in your signal chain.

Poor tracking or note-following

The Queequeg 2 is a monophonic pedal and may not perfectly track complex chords. Ensure you are playing clean single notes or simple intervals for optimal performance. Check your instrument's tuning and pickup selection.

Pedal does not bypass correctly

Ensure the power supply is connected and the pedal is receiving power. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds significant low-end depth to any instrument.
  • Flexible control over one or two sub-octaves.
  • Fast and accurate tracking.
  • Compact and pedalboard-friendly design.
  • High-quality analogue sound.
  • Suitable for guitar, bass, and synth.

Cons

  • Monophonic tracking means it may not perfectly replicate complex chords.
  • Purely analogue signal path may require specific power supply considerations.
  • Can overwhelm a mix if not used judiciously.
  • Limited to sub-octave effects; does not produce higher octaves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect your instrument to the input jack and your amplifier or next pedal to the output jack. Power the Queequeg 2 using a standard 9V DC power supply with a center-negative plug (not included). Ensure your power supply can deliver at least 100mA of current.

Compatibility: The Queequeg 2 is compatible with most electric guitars, bass guitars, and synthesizers. It operates as a standard mono effect pedal. It can be placed anywhere in your effects chain, but its sub-octave effect is often most effective when placed before distortion or overdrive pedals, or at the beginning of your chain.

Care: Keep the pedal away from excessive moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth only. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners. Ensure all connections are secure before powering on.
