Spaceman are a strange gourmet pedal maker that usually offer a few pedals at one time. They constantly reintroduce older pedals as limited editions. Sometime improved ...but often NOT. lol
The 'new' old pedal comes with 7 cosmetic choices the ultimate being a chrome one. It gets an ultimate price tag too.
The 4 knobs and 2 switches are all about EQ. It has a 2-pole resonant filter that is a major part of changing and tweaking the sound. They say themselves that the 6 controls are all about tone shaping. It is basically a very neutral medium gain OD with a lot of tone shaping.
You can sweep the filter with a expression pedal which is another odd feature that I am sure for most players will rapidly become a yawn.
This OD that is a tweakers delight. It is definitely not 'voiced' to sound like a brand of amp but rather a neutral sound to be carved into one or anything you like.
I find it lacks character. Yes you can make some off the wall quacks with it but they have less then a limited use for the average player.
It is definitely not an 'OH WOW!' pedal. To me that is too bad because the best I have found are both. Yes you can get several stunningly rich sounding OD that have it all!
The Sunrise Lab HVO takes an esoteric approach too ....but you get a clone of a Marshall Super Lead 100 watt Plexi ...the difference between it and the real amp is barely detectable
and even that took me several listens!
So guys look around at this price there is the HVO and many others to choose from.

If you really like their concept check out a Dr. Scientist 'The Elements' At $225.00 USD ya just can not overlook it. You can dial up some off the wall things but if you need to make that club crowd stand up and take notice it can do that too.
