This is a Pre-Order Listing Scheduled to ship November 2025 subject to manufacturer availability

Boutique Silicon Fuzz with Precision Engineering

The Blue Edition of the Spaceman Sputnik I delivers the same acclaimed circuit as its siblings, dressed in a striking blue aluminum chassis. Built around NOS silicon transistors, the Sputnik I offers a refined take on vintage fuzz with greater stability, increased gain ceiling, and dependable performance in any setting. It captures the spirit of exploratory analog fuzz tones with modern consistency and handcrafted precision.

Interactive Controls and Sonic Depth

Controls include Range for adjusting gain and fuzz saturation, Calibrate for contouring the tone in tandem with Range, and Level for output adjustment. A Scan control fine tunes feedback and modulation when the Drift mode is activated. Toggle switches engage Filter to reshape the midrange response, and Sync/Drift to activate wild oscillations, glitchy textures, and octave artifacts. The Sputnik I is capable of clean fuzz tone shaping as well as unhinged sonic mayhem.

Handbuilt Construction with Professional Appointments

Assembled entirely by hand in Portland, Oregon, the Blue Edition features through hole construction, laser etched faceplate detailing, and a rugged cast aluminum enclosure. The soft click true bypass footswitch, top mounted jacks, and compact footprint are designed for years of service on pedalboards and in studio setups. Power is supplied via a standard 9 volt DC center negative adapter or internal battery.

Fuzz Versatility for Artists and Explorers

From smooth, vocal like sustain to unpredictable sonic detours, the Sputnik I thrives as both a classic fuzz and a sound design tool. It’s equally effective for lead tones, lo-fi textures, and experimental signal destruction. The Blue Edition’s rich, saturated tone interacts dynamically with your instrument’s volume and playing style, making it a true extension of your creative intent.

Performance Ready and Consistently Expressive

With its silicon design, the Sputnik I Blue Edition delivers reliable tone regardless of temperature or humidity. The pedal responds well to stacking with other effects, integrates naturally into both clean and driven rigs, and maintains clarity even under extreme fuzz conditions. It’s a compact powerhouse that invites exploration while standing up to the demands of live use.
