Up for sale, a Spaceman Sputnik IIb Deluxe Germanium Fuzz in near-mint condition, featuring a white variant enclosure and complete with the original box and ephemera. Handmade in Portland, OR, the Sputnik IIb offers complex textures, beautiful sustain, gritty crunch + pseudo-octaves and 8-bit artifacts.
Utilizing NOS Soviet-era germanium transistors and diodes, the Sputnik IIb shares the harmonic richness and wild nature of vintage fuzzes from the past, but in a new circuit with a unique voice and a wild double personality.
Characteristic of germanium fuzzes, all of the controls are quite interactive and a shockingly wide variety of sounds can be observed with experimentation. RANGE controls the gain of the fuzz, while the BASS toggle switch allows for three levels of bass response: (•) Original; (+) More; and the new (-) Less bass. The FILTER switch selects between three different voices for the CALIBRATE control, which adjusts the tone with an uncommon sweep.
The footswitch actuated DRIFT mode adds a level of corruption to the otherwise mild-mannered Sputnik IIb, resulting in oscillation, pseudo-octaves, 8-bit artifacts and more. Adding a layer of control to this double personality is the SCAN control, which acts a squelch control to either tame or unleash the wild unpredictability of the Drift mode.
