Seller's description

Complex textures, beautiful sustain, gritty crunch + pseudo-octaves and 8-bit artifacts. It’s all there waiting for you to discover with the Sputnik IIb: Deluxe Germanium Fuzz. 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. We’ve conceptualized the next generation of the famed Sputnik II: Deluxe Germanium Fuzz, with refined and expanded FILTER / BASS settings, plus a smaller footprint with top mounted jacks. A new Transformer Bypass feature allows you to choose the looser, wider and wilder experience of the Sputnik I; or the more focused sound and feel of the Sputnik II and III (+ more friendly with other pedals). This is the ultimate version of the Sputnik circuit. 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. Power: 9VDC- Dimensions: 5.7" x 4.73" x 4.23"
