Welcome!

 

 
Thank you for entering the realm of Pigtronix. The Keymaster you now 
possess is a universal analog signal converter that will allow you to 
interface any audio source with instrument level “guitar” pedals 

and

 

return your signal back to the proper impedance on its way back out of 
this crafty little box. The ability to run the loops in series or blend them in 
parallel will lead to new sonic possibilities using the gear you already own.  
 
As the name entails, Keymaster is designed to function in many situations: 
 

On a pedal board

 it is a dual, true-bypass looper, giving you access to two 

preset signal chains of pedals. Furthermore, you can mix the channels, 
allowing for blended distortions with a crossfade via expression pedal and 
out-of-this-world modulation combinations. The gain sections also serve as 
line driver / pre-amp stages for your instrument. 
 

In the studio, 

the Keymaster provides producers with a simple and 

effective solution for ReAmp applications. The Keymaster converts 
balanced, line level signals from the mixing desk to effects friendly levels 
and then returns the signal back to balanced output or buffered 

!

outputs for a guitar amp 
 

For Stage Vocalists, DJs, Rappers, Beat Box and Horn

 the Keymaster finally 

gives convenient on-stage access to the tools that guitarists use to define 
their sound. Keymaster is the ideal solution for anyone who uses a mic on 
stage, acting as a hub for getting your tone into effects and right back to 
XLR for the soundman or to your own amp.
