Pre-Owned Spaceman Apollo VII Overdrive Pedal

The Spaceman Apollo VII: Medium-Gain Odyssey of Sonic Versatility

Boutique Overdrive Pedal with Rich Harmonic Texture

The Spaceman Apollo VII delivers a medium-gain drive that transcends its compact format. Handcrafted with boutique precision, this pedal offers a deeply expressive gain structure inspired by the overdrive section of the revered Voyager I tremolo. Whether you're stacking it into another gain stage or running it standalone, the Apollo VII gives you a galaxy of gritty textures to explore—from glassy chime to chewy crunch.

Three Clipping Modes for Tailored Distortion Character

The pedal’s clipping toggle opens up three dynamic voices. LED clipping (L) channels a punchy, midrange-rich grit perfect for thick rhythm tones. Silicon diodes (D) tighten things up with compressed aggression and a smooth decay. And in the diode-lifted mode (0), the Apollo VII becomes a reactive, growling beast ideal for players who live by the nuance of their picking hand. Each mode transforms the pedal’s feel and response, offering endless tonal discovery.

Intuitive Tone Shaping and Interactive Controls

Simple yet powerful, the Apollo VII features Drive, Level, and Tone knobs that interact in highly musical ways. The Drive knob unleashes up to 40dB of gain, while the Tone circuit shapes the high-frequency response passively rolling off treble for warmth or opening up the top end for cutting leads. Whether you're seeking a subtle harmonic enhancer or a full-bodied overdriven voice, these controls respond with refinement.

Touch Sensitivity Meets High Headroom Design

With no clipping diodes engaged, the Apollo VII delivers exceptional touch sensitivity, blooming into dynamic saturation based on your attack. Its 1M Ohm input impedance ensures it plays well with your instrument’s natural voice, preserving clarity and detail even at higher gain settings. True-bypass relay switching and a soft-touch footswitch round out its stage-ready build.
