Spaceman Atlas III Boost, (Used)

The Spaceman Atlas III Boost is a boutique-grade preamp and boost pedal designed to enhance a guitar’s natural tone with precision and musicality. It features a single Gain control that provides a wide sweep from a clean, transparent lift to a harmonically rich drive. The circuit is built around a discrete preamp design that delivers dynamic response and subtle tonal colouration while preserving clarity and definition.

This pedal operates with true-bypass switching and has a high input impedance of 1 MΩ, ensuring compatibility with a variety of instruments and signal chains. It runs on a standard 9V DC power supply and draws a minimal current of approximately 2.8 mA, making it easy to integrate into any pedalboard. A phase switch is accessible internally, allowing users to adjust phase alignment when combining signals from multiple amplifiers or effects setups.

Though primarily designed as a transparent boost, the Atlas III reveals more harmonic complexity as the Gain control is increased, giving a smooth, responsive character that complements tube amplifiers and overdrive pedals. Built by hand with premium components and rugged construction, it delivers consistent, high-fidelity performance for both studio recording and live use.
