Spaceman · pedal
The Spaceman Nebula is a fully blendable, multi-function fuzz and octave-blending tone manipulator, letting players layer and mix octave and fuzz elements to discover unique, layered tonal combinations beyond a standard fixed-voicing fuzz. This Gloss Steel finish is a distinctive cosmetic variant of the Nebula circuit, part of Spaceman's boutique, small-batch approach to finish variety across its pedal line.
