Description

The Spaceman Atlas III is a boutique preamp boost pedal from Spaceman Effects of Portland, Oregon, delivering warm, harmonically rich preamplification for driving an amp's front end into natural breakup rather than adding a fixed distortion voicing of its own. It's built to exceptional hand-wired quality standards, part of Spaceman's Atlas preamp-boost series. It suits players wanting a premium, harmonically rich clean-to-edge-of-breakup boost rather than a conventional gain pedal.
