NativeAudio Unveils the Kiaayo Pedal

The simple drive is stacked with an adaptable-gain configuration, distinctive pre-gain low-pass filter, and dynamic-asymmetrical clipping.

Adding to the company's array of high-quality guitar effects, NativeAudio has introduced the new Kiaayo Overdrive pedal.


The Kiaayo (pronounced key-eye-yo) is based on the idea that less-is-more and provides a streamlined interface for an unlimited overdrive experience. Implementing a 3-knob layout, the Kiaayo offers an adaptable-gain configuration, distinctive pre-gain low-pass filter, and dynamic-asymmetrical clipping. The result is an amp-like overdrive that responds to the dynamics of your playing for sustained leads and articulate chording.

  • Adaptable-gain configuration designed to make the Kiaayo the overdrive solution for a diverse range of instruments and musical styles.
  • Pre-gain filter aimed to reduce aggressive harmonics which in-return provides a smooth and warmer overdrive experience.
  • Independent volume, gain, and tone parameters to allow for total customization of overdrive tones.
  • Asymmetrical clipping tuned to provide a dynamic tube-like response.
  • 9-18VDC operation provides adjustable headroom for additional overdrive capabilities.
  • Smart switching system to engage effect in either momentary or latching mode for expanded operational capability.
  • Top-mounted instrument and power jacks designed to save and reduce pedalboard space.

The Kiaayo is priced at $189 USD and can be found at participating NativeAudio dealers and purchased directly at nativeaudio.com.
