A one-of-a-kind look Mercury IV in a pink powdercoated enclosure, with heavy duty white and black engraved faceplate. A white jewel indicator with soft pink LED rounds out this look, which is a match to the limited run of pink Sputnik III’s released a couple years ago. Handmade and hand-soldered circuit with 1960’s germanium transistor.
Signed and numbered on the inside, with a 1-of-1 hand-hammered number tag on the enclosure.
The Mercury IV is a dynamic tone enhancer, created to bring out additional harmonic character from instruments and amplifiers. The pedal features a unique, discrete analog circuit, with a meticulously selected vintage germanium transistor at its heart.
The Boost control of the Mercury IV offers a staggering 35 dB of gain, with nine (9) tone-shaping options via two toggle switches, to gently or aggressively boost tube amplifiers. The real magic however, resides in the Harmonics control; bringing more dimension and life to ones’ tone. Subtle sparkle, complex textures, and octave-like overtones can all be found here. With a sound and response like hot tubes on the edge of breakup, these even-order harmonics are independently generated, giving you full control over the mix.
The Mercury IV is completely hand-soldered and handmade in Portland Oregon to the highest degree of quality possible. The Mercury IV utilizes true-bypass switching, while your tone is transferred via quality open-frame Switchcraft jacks. Open one up and you’ll see an unparalleled display of craftsmanship; with immaculate hand-soldered PCB, detailed military-spec wiring, and custom Spaceman heavy-duty battery connector. This pedal is truly built to last a lifetime.
