Description
The Saturn VI from Spaceman's Cadet Series is a harmonic booster that lives right on the edge of overdrive; ideal for players who want extra presence, clarity, and dynamic texture without diving into full saturation. Whether you're playing guitar or bass, this is a great choice for adding character and punch to your tone without overwhelming it. It's a more refined take on the original Saturn V circuit, now with expanded features in a streamlined format that's ready for any pedalboard.
You've got two key controls: Boost and Drive. Boost by itself gives you up to 18dB of clean, harmonic gain, perfect for waking up a tube amp. Bring in the Drive, and you add even more gain-up to 35dB total-along with complex harmonic content that responds dynamically to your playing. The new Tone control helps shape the top-end sparkle, letting you dial in just the right amount of bite or air depending on your rig. What makes this pedal stand out is how naturally it enhances your signal; even when it's working hard, it keeps your lows tight and your highs open.
The Saturn VI plays well with others-whether it's pushing a fuzz, adding clarity to a mod pedal, or being your always-on sweetener at the front of the chain. It's dead simple to use, feels great under your fingers, and responds to dynamics in a way that makes it feel like part of your instrument. We've had it on guitar and bass boards here and it delivers every time.
