SKU: SPUTNIKIII
Spaceman Effects' legendary Sputnik fuzz pedal is back - introducing the Sputnik III! Boasting some of the iconic features and sounds that the previous versions offered, the Sputnik III has a few noteworthy refinements that puts it ahead of its predecessors.
Pedalboard-Friendly Design
Featuring a more compact enclosure, the Spaceman Effects Sputnik III is pedalboard-friendly and therefore better-suited to modern players who keep practicality in mind. Still retaining some of the big box features, such as a transformer section to ensure that the pedal can be used anywhere in the signal chain, the Sputnik III doesn't lose any of its sonic potency!
Spellbinding Germanium Sounds!
The Spaceman Sputnik III comes equipped with hand-selected NOS Soviet germanium transistors and diodes. Complex textures, gritty crunch and beautiful sustain are to be expected, and the Sputnik III certainly lives up to the reputation of its older counterparts.
Plenty of Control
A common characteristic of germanium fuzzes, all of the Sputnik III's controls are quite interactive and thus a wide palette of tones can be achieved if you love to tweak and experiment. The filter toggle switch and 'Calibrate' knob serve as tone controls that influence the EQ slope, while the 'Range' control affects the amount of gain on tap.
A favourite feature from the previous Sputnik pedal has been carried over to the third iteration - the much-loved 'Drift' footswitch. Able to be set to momentary or latching modes, the Drift function turns things crazy by making the fuzz go into self-oscillation, giving you warped, chaotic and unpredictable fuzz sounds!
