Spaceman Effects Sputnik III Germanium Fuzz

Watch out, a real Germanium Fuzz with Vintage Soviet Transistors ready to spit tone!

It can be said that the Fuzz is the mother of all effect pedals. Since the first Fuzz in the 1960s, a lot of variants have appeared and this Sputnik III is the recipe from the kitchen of Spaceman Effects. Germanium transistors have a special property, they are sensitive to temperature and therefore always sound different. This makes them unpredictable but insanely fun to play with. Complex textures, gritty crunch, nice sustain and character. It's all waiting for you to be discovered. As with all Spaceman pedals, the Sputnik fuzz series pays homage to the golden age of electronics and is bursting with vintage soul. Using a NOS Soviet germanium diode and transistors, this Fuzz pays homage to its vintage predecessors. Characteristic of germanium fuzzes, all controls are quite interactive and a wide range of sounds can be perceived through experimentation. And to make all this complete, this Fuzz also comes in a beautiful pink housing.
