The Charon is a germanium/silicon hybrid fuzz with vintage vibes inspired by classic circuits from the golden age of guitar effects. Mirroring that primal simplicity, the Charon’s concise three control layout is capable of a wide range of instantly gratifying results. You can easily traverse from low-gain crunchy overdrive to a menacing aggressive wall of sound - all the way to total signal destruction. Within this expanse lies an endless amount of smoky drive, fat saturated distortion, and belligerent fuzz as your swirling harmonic overtones flicker like waves of merciless flames around your smoldering tone. Immerse yourself in the Charon and experience an infinite journey of sonic discovery.

The Saturn VI brings a general openness to the top end of the frequency spectrum, while keeping bass frequencies fully present, tight and controlled. We’ve added a new Tone circuit to allow customization of the treble frequencies, so you can adjust for the perfect amount of sparkle. The harmonic distortion present is extremely dynamic. Play with a light touch and you’ll get a clean tone, but dig in and the Saturn VI will respond.

Saturn VI

The Explorer is an optical six stage analog phaser, lovingly handcrafted with our hyper detailed approach to usability, and tone. Named after the first satellite put into orbit by the United States in 1958, the Explorer was the first phaser launched by Spaceman. Years later, we are pleased to bring you a small form factor reissue of this classic circuit with all the deluxe features of the original. Sometimes liquidy smooth, sometimes chewy and lush, the fluid frequencies squiggle and flourish like the unrelenting ebb and flow of the sonic tide.

Orion is a true analog spring reverb, and at only 6 ¼ by 4 ¾ inches, it’s the smallest real spring reverb pedal this solar system has ever seen. Finally, real analog reverb that will fit on your pedal board!

To customize your tone, Orion features four control knobs with wide ranges. Dwell allows you to dial in how hard you push the dual springs, for splashy surf tone or a mellower spring sound. The Tone control sweeps between bright and dark reverb tones, effecting only the reverb signal. Mix your desired dry to wet ratio with the Blend control, while Volume adjusts the overall output level of the pedal.

There is no spring splash when stomping on the Orion; and stage interference from kick drums and bass amps won’t affect your sound. However, if you truly wish to confirm Orion’s springs, a swift kick to the front side of the pedal will give you that classic tank crash.

The Saturn V features a simple two knob control layout for Boost and Drive. The Boost control alone can deliver 18db of boost, with a hint of added sparkle. Adjusting the Drive control will add more harmonic distortion, while also increasing the total output level of the pedal. Cranking both controls to max will yield 35db of boost, full of complex harmonic character.

The overall tone of the Saturn V gives an openness to the top end of the frequency spectrum. It works equally well with bass and baritone guitar, as it keeps the bass frequencies present, tight and controlled. In good Spaceman fashion, the harmonic distortion present in the Saturn V is extremely dynamic. Play with a light touch and you’ll get a clean tone, but dig in and the Saturn V will react. It feels like playing a tube amp on the edge of breakup.

The drive texture in the Saturn V is comprised of a mix of odd and even harmonics. The Boost side of the pedal is focused on even-order harmonics. While the Drive side of the pedal increases these even-order harmonics, it noticeably adds odd-order harmonics to the mix. While it excels as a harmonic booster, the Saturn V crosses the line into the realm of light overdrive when the Drive control is maxed. It also works well with other pedals, opening up new possibilities with other boost, fuzz, and overdrive effects.
