Spaceman Effects

Description

The Sputnik III by Spaceman Effects is a versatile Germanium fuzz pedal designed for a wide range of fuzz tones. It features vintage Soviet transistors and diodes, offering a unique and variable fuzz experience. The pedal is housed in a durable cast aluminum enclosure, with a mid-sized form factor making it pedalboard-friendly. The Sputnik III incorporates the best features of its predecessors, including the transformer-based pickup simulation from the Sputnik II, ensuring it behaves well anywhere in the signal chain.

Key Technical Specifications:
- Input Resistance: 2.2 Meg Ohm
- Bypass Current Draw: 2 mA
- Engaged Current Draw: 4.5 mA
- Input Voltage: 9V DC

The pedal features three main control knobs - Range, Calibrate, and Scan - which interact with two toggle switches labeled Filter and Sync/Drift. The Filter switch enables a second tone-circuit variation, effectively doubling the variety of tonal options compared to traditional fuzz pedals. The Sync/Drift switch, when set to Drift, transforms the pedal into a corrupt death ray of fuzz, producing synth tones, oscillation, pseudo-octaves, 8-bit artifacts, and more.

The Sputnik III is hand-wired and built in Portland, Oregon, featuring true- bypass relay switching with a soft-touch footswitch. It is designed to provide a wide range of fuzz tones, from smooth and vintage to gritty and modern, making it suitable for various musical styles and applications.
