Spaceman Saturn VI Harmonic Boost

The stompboxes by Portland's Spaceman Effects always have something special about them, and we are not surprised that their version of what's argualby the least "special" of effects (a booster) turns out to be a lot more than what its name implies. Introduced as a "Harmonic Booster," the Spaceman…Click on the title for more

Spaceman Effects Delta II Tremolo

Notably, Portland's Spaceman Effects didn't have a compact tremolo in their roster until today, the day they released the Delta II. The rather simple interface can be misleading: this pedal can deliver a wide variety of rhythmic and tone-shaping options, from the traditional to the adventurous. The Lag knob is…Click on the title for more

New Pedal: Spaceman Effects Equinox

Spaceman Effects Apollo VII Overdrive

It is reported that tribes living in the jungle have hundreds of words for the color green - because there are so many shades of green, in the jungle.

Spaceman FX Gemini IV Dual Fuzz Generator

Since fuzz lovers tend to love extremes, the folks at Spaceman FX came up with the brilliant idea of putting two fuzz circuits (a germanium and a silicon one) in one pedal. Enter the Gemini IV, a redesigned and exopanded evlution of their 2012 “III” version that allows you to blend these two…Click on the title for more

Spaceman Effects Aurora Analog Flanger

While multi-modulation pedals delivering different types of modulation are an established niche in the effect world, it's rare to stumble upon a pedal that delivers several kinds of the same type of modulation (we are not talking simply about LFO shapes here, but tonal character). Enter Aurora, the new Flanger…Click on the title for more
