Germanium fuzz pedals have always somewhat alluded me, they sound great when other people use them, but they never worked for me. I had resided my fate as a perpetual Big Muff and Hyper Fuzz user, destined to never find a germanium fuzz that really works for me. Until the Sputnik III came along. The Sputnik III does away with the traditional notion of a germanium fuzz and tries to give players a wider breadth of sounds, while still encapsulating what players have always loved about the sound of those pedals. Utilising an NOS Soviet germanium diode and transistors, as well as a massively interactive control scheme, the Sputnik III can do classic wam fuzz tones, blown out huge stoner rock fuzz sounds, and even grinding "Swedish-esq" distortion like tones. Adn then theres the Drift mode. Turning this already wild fuzz pedal into a corrupted, self oscillating, space-horror-sound-design machine. Whats not to love?

Thanks to Spaceman Effects and MAS Distro for sending me the pedal.
