Mercury IV

The Mercury IV by Spaceman Effects is a dynamic tone enhancer designed to bring out additional harmonic character from instruments and amplifiers. It features a unique, discrete analog circuit with a meticulously selected vintage germanium transistor at its core. The pedal offers a Boost control with a staggering 35 dB of gain and nine tone-shaping options via two toggle switches, allowing users to gently or aggressively boost tube amplifiers. The Harmonics control adds more dimension and life to the tone, offering subtle sparkle, complex textures, and octave-like overtones. The pedal is completely hand-soldered and handmade in Portland, Oregon, ensuring the highest degree of quality. It utilizes true-bypass switching via a heavy-duty mechanical footswitch and high-quality open-frame Switchcraft jacks for tone transfer. The pedal is built to last a lifetime, featuring a cast aluminum enclosure, engraved vinyl faceplate, and jewel indicator light. Each pedal is hand- hammered and signed, indicating its limited availability. The technical specifications include an Input Resistance of 1 Meg Ohm, Bypass Current Draw of 3.25 mA, Engaged Current Draw of 4.65 mA, and Input Voltage of 9V DC.
