The first outing for KMA’s unique and custom AI-driven True Double Tracker technology was in the ENDGAME, our powerhouse end-of-chain pedal. We designed our dead-simple-to-use, TDT Algorithm in ENDGAME to be as authentic to the doubling recording process as possible, but we realise that not everybody needs all the bells and whistles of such an all-encompassing device. However, the processing power requirements for TDT meant a simpler device wasn’t yet possible. But as demand from the community grew, our team worked hard to squeeze it down and make it happen.

So, meet GEMINUS - all of KMA’s True Double Tracker goodness in a compact pedal that’s suitable for any board. Whether playing live or recording with a single instrument, GEMINUS is the perfect solution for adding “fatness” and “width” to your performances - it does feel like you are playing the same riff twice! 

GEMINUS, activated via the soft bypass footswitch, replicates the subtle differences between two recordings. The TDT WIDTH control lets you spread your doubled tracks from completely centered (0%) to 100% left and right. KMA conducted extensive research and invested significant resources in developing proprietary technology and a custom neural network AI for onset detection in our algorithms.

You can set the TRS input and output modes using the toggle switch, with options for stereo in and out, mono in and stereo out, or mono in and out. For the best performance—similar to traditional studio double tracking—our True Double Tracker (TDT) algorithm works optimally with a mono signal, although it can provide effective widening for stereo inputs. Be cautious, as excessive doubling on stereo sources may muddle effects like reverb or delay.

The TIME control adjusts the timing of the doubled signal, allowing you to customize tightness for different playing styles, with the center detent as the default. The LEVEL control balances the doubled signal against the original, and clever panning technology ensures an even sound in stereo mode.

The PITCH selector switch adds movement to the doubled signal with options for no pitch adjustment, subtle modulation, or more pronounced wobble. Finally, GEMINUS features switchable True/Buffered bypass and silent relay-based switching. Buffered Bypass is the default mode for clarity, but True Bypass can be selected via an internal dip switch for sensitive pedals (see the Quick Start Guide for details).
