Pure analog architecture. Total digital recall.
Chorus, flanger, delay, reverb, analog pitch shifting, FM synthesis, granular effects — whatever your music demands. The Kill Room Analog Multi Effect delivers the versatility, preset storage, and MIDI automation of a modern digital processor, while keeping your audio signal entirely in the analog domain.
Signal Architecture
Your audio signal remains 100% analog from input jack to output jack.
While the processor samples the input to track pitch and signal envelope for dynamic modulation, that sampled data is never output. Your instrument's sound flows uninterrupted through a high-impedance input buffer, studio compander, three 2048-stage bucket-brigade delay lines, two active analog filters, and eight VCAs. The high-speed digital supervisor sets timing, feedback paths, and gain levels with microscopic precision.
Algorithms
Lush spatial modulations. Warm tape and granular echoes. Expansive ambient spaces. Analog pitch shifting.
Each algorithm reconfigures the physical BBD lines, VCAs, and active filters into a dedicated circuit topology. Save and recall custom variations across preset slots, with instant seamless switching and continuous MIDI control.
Expand any algorithm below to inspect its parameter pages directly from the pedal’s OLED display.
Modulation Matrix
Eight routes, twenty-one sources, and almost every parameter on the pedal as a target.
Four LFOs that can lock to the bar of incoming MIDI clock. Four ADSR envelopes that follow your dynamics or fire on every pick attack.
Pitch tracking, the swell of the effect's own tail, expression, footswitches, MIDI notes and CCs. Even the rotary's spinning horn can drive another control.
Sixteen steps of note, accent and slide, clocked by your picking, tap tempo or MIDI. Point it at a filter, a pitch or a delay time and the effect plays the line.
The pedal can generate random acid bassline patterns in any of ten scales.
Each of the eight routes can speed up an LFO, wake up an envelope, or turn another route's depth up and down. You can even morph a whole preset between two scenes.
A few places to start:
Build routes on the pedal's own screen or in the browser editor. Every route saves with the preset.
Performance
Every preset maps its four primary parameters directly to dedicated physical knobs. Grab a knob and sculpt your sound immediately—no menu-diving required during performance.
Deep secondary pages are simple to navigate. Reassign any knob to whichever parameter you reach for most.
The dual footswitches adapt to every preset. Configure them for tap tempo, delay freeze, rotary speed brake, momentary feedback swell, or relay bypass.
Expand your control via the external TRS jack, which accepts an expression pedal mapped to multiple parameters simultaneously, or up to three external auxiliary footswitches.
Lock delays and modulation LFOs to your session using MIDI clock sync or tap tempo.
Choose rhythmic subdivisions per preset—from dotted-eighth gallops to triplet flutters—or let algorithms run un-synced for organic analog drift.
The modulation LFOs and step sequencer can lock to the bar and downbeat of incoming MIDI clock, so a sweep or sequence starts where the drum machine's bar does.
Connections
Every connection is positioned on the rear panel, allowing pedals to sit flush against one another with zero wasted space on crowded boards.
Rear panel connectivity:
Full MIDI implementation includes continuous CC control over every parameter, instantaneous Program Changes, and SysEx preset backup.
Powered from standard 9V pedalboard power supplies. Because it is genuine analog hardware without heavy DSP, its current draw is comparable to a classic analog delay pedal.
Web Editor
Connect the pedal to your computer via USB-C and launch the editor in any modern browser.
No bloated software installers, no background drivers, and no account logins. Audition algorithms, organize your 128 preset slots, build modulation routes and step patterns, fine-tune expression curves, and flash firmware updates directly from a web browser.

Questions
Yes. From input jack to output jack, your audio stays completely in the analog domain. The signal flows through genuine bucket-brigade delay lines, discrete VCAs, and active analog filters. While an onboard microcontroller samples the input solely for pitch and level detection, that sampled data is never output. There is no D/A reconstruction, no digital audio processing, and zero latency.
A dedicated 96 MHz digital supervisor manages control voltages, clock frequencies, and VCA levels without ever touching the audio path. A preset is a snapshot of those precision voltage settings. When you recall a preset, the physical analog circuits reconfigure instantly.
Digital modelers convert your instrument into digital samples and run mathematical DSP algorithms to simulate analog components. The Kill Room Analog Multi Effect is the actual physical hardware: real bucket-brigade charge transfers, authentic tape-style saturation, natural high-frequency roll-off, and resonant analog filter behavior.
Each preset runs one dedicated algorithm at a time. Rather than compromising tone to share components across simultaneous effects, the pedal's entire analog hardware matrix—all three BBD lines, eight VCAs, and filters—is marshaled to make that single sound exceptional.
Every preset has eight modulation routes. Each one takes a source and moves a control with it: four LFOs that can lock to the bar of incoming MIDI clock, four ADSR envelopes that follow your playing or fire on each pick, a 16-step sequencer with accent and slide, pitch tracking, expression, footswitches, and MIDI notes and CCs. Targets include almost every parameter of the running algorithm, the wet, dry and repeat levels, a morph between two scenes, and the speed or depth of other modulation. Set it up on the pedal or in the browser editor, and it saves with the preset.
Yes. It features standard 3.5mm TRS MIDI In and Out jacks (MIDI Association Type A standard). It supports Program Change (PC) for instantaneous preset switching, continuous Control Change (CC) for every parameter, SysEx preset backup, and MIDI clock synchronization with selectable note divisions.
Yes. With a +4 dBu maximum input level and 1 MΩ input impedance, it has ample headroom to handle hot synthesizer outputs, drum machines, and studio line sends cleanly without unwanted clipping.
Up to approximately 600 ms of genuine bucket-brigade delay time across the three internal BBD lines.
It runs on industry-standard 9V DC centre-negative power (minimum 200 mA), making it drop-in compatible with standard isolated pedalboard power supplies.
Yes. It features mechanical relay-switched true bypass. When disengaged, the input jack connects directly to the output jack, leaving your clean tone completely unaffected.
No. Connect the pedal to your computer via USB-C and open the web editor in any modern browser. Powered by WebMIDI, it connects instantly with no software installation, no background drivers, and no account setup.
