Spaceman Effects

Description

The Saturn VI by Spaceman Effects is a dynamic pedal designed to function as both a harmonic-laden boost and a low-gain overdrive, offering up to 35db of gain and a cosmos of complex harmonic character. It features a Boost control that provides 18db of harmonic gain, while the Drive control increases harmonic distortion and the total output of the pedal. When both controls are set to maximum, the pedal yields 35db of boost, rich in complex harmonic character.

The Saturn VI brings a general openness to the top end of the frequency spectrum while maintaining tight and controlled bass frequencies. It includes a Tone circuit for customizing treble frequencies, allowing users to adjust for the perfect amount of sparkle. The harmonic distortion is highly dynamic, responding to both light and heavy playing touch.

The drive texture within the Saturn VI comprises both odd and even harmonics. The Boost side focuses on subtle even-order harmonics, while the Drive side increases these and introduces odd-order harmonics. This pedal excels as a harmonic booster and crosses into the realm of overdrive when using the Drive control. It also pairs well with other pedals, opening new sonic dimensions with boost, fuzz, and overdrive effects.

The technical specifications of the Saturn VI are as follows:
- Input Resistance: 1 Meg Ohm
- Bypass Current Draw: 9.5 mA
- Engaged Current Draw: 32 mA
- Input Voltage: 9V DC

The pedal is hand-wired and built in Portland, Oregon, featuring true-bypass relay switching with a soft-touch footswitch. It is housed in a cast-aluminum enclosure with a durable, engraved vinyl faceplate and a red jewel indicator light, ensuring longevity.

Spaceman Effects offers two build variations of the Saturn VI: Limited Edition and Standard Edition.
