It’s all there waiting for you to discover with the Sputnik IIb. As with all Spaceman pedals, the Sputnik fuzz series is an homage to the golden era of electronics and is brimming with vintage soul. Utilizing NOS Soviet-era germanium transistors and diodes, the Sputnik IIb shares the harmonic richness and wild nature of vintage germanium fuzzes from the past, but in a new circuit with its own unique voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCharacteristic 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: (\u003cstrong\u003e•\u003c\/strong\u003e) Original; (\u003cstrong\u003e+\u003c\/strong\u003e) More; and the new (\u003cstrong\u003e-\u003c\/strong\u003e) Less bass. The FILTER switch selects between three different voices for the CALIBRATE control, which adjusts the tone with an uncommon sweep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 id=\"gen-h1-1-00000001\" class=\"navigable-headline\"\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSputnik IIb FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\"\u003eUnique germanium fuzz, powered by NOS Soviet-era germanium transistors and diodes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\"\u003eFoot-switchable DRIFT Mode for wild oscillation, octave and 8-bit artifact tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSwitchable input transformer: Out = Looser feel + wider freq. range; In = Plays nice after other pedals + more focused\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\"\u003eFILTER switch provides three voicing options for the CALIBRATION tone control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\"\u003eBASS switch provides three levels off bass response, including bass boost, and for the first time bass cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\"\u003eUnique, discrete all-analog circuit using through-hole components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\"\u003eCompletely soldered and wired by hand in Portland, Oregon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\"\u003eTrue-Bypass switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\"\u003eHeavy duty engraved vinyl faceplate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\"\u003eLarge “jewel” indicator lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTRULY HANDCRAFTED\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFully soldered and wired by hand in Portland, Oregon, the \u003cstrong\u003eSputnik IIb\u003c\/strong\u003e features true-bypass switching via soft-click footswitches.
