We're excited to offer these special edition Chrome Sputnik III's. In addition to the mirror polished, triple chrome plated enclosure, these Sputnik III's also feature a unique Cyrillic engraved faceplate. Solid aluminum control knobs and clear indicator jewel round out the unique look of these pedals. This batch of 15 are made with the first-run, fully handmade Sputnik III circuits.
Each pedal is signed and numbered inside, with a hand-hammered number tag on the enclosure. Includes screen-printed handmade silver pedal bag and additional swag.
Complex textures, gritty crunch, beautiful sustain and character. It’s all there waiting for you to discover with the Sputnik III. As with all Spaceman pedals, the Sputnik fuzz series is an homage to the golden era of electronics and is brimming with vintage soul, utilizing NOS Soviet-era germanium transistors and diodes.
Offering an uncommonly wide range of fuzz tones, it truly runs the gamut: smooth, gritty, vintage, modern, thick, thin, buzzy, bassy, splatty, sputtery, noisy, velcro-ripping, controlled or completely off-the-rails. Astonishingly responsive and versatile, the Sputnik III is ready to transport you into a universe of grit, chaos and corruption!
Handmade and hand-wired in Portland, Oregon, the Sputnik III features true-bypass relay switching via soft-touch footswitches. On top of the cast-aluminum enclosure sits a durable, engraved vinyl faceplate and jewel indicator light. This pedal is built to last a lifetime, both on Earth or in the vacuum of space.
