Spaceman Effects Atlas IV - Preamp Booster - Grey Limited Edition

**Grey Edition is ultra-limited, w/ vintage dimmable aerospace indicator**

When you have your guitar and amp dialed-in just right, but you want MORE of it, that’s where the Atlas IV: Preamp Booster comes in. More volume, more harmonic sparkle, more amp saturation - the new Atlas IV has you covered.

NEXT-LEVEL TONE ENHANCER

The Atlas IV is a discrete, FET transistor preamp circuit. With a natural tone and wide dynamic response, the Atlas IV adds extra dimension to your existing tone, without compromise.

Use the Atlas IV to transform your tube amp, set at the edge of breakup, into glorious overdrive. Kick it on to enliven a solo or up the ante of a bridge. In the studio, the Atlas IV is the ultimate recording tool, by slamming the front end of tube amps for legendary distortion tones. Use it to shape other dirt pedals, unlocking new sonic textures and expanding creative possibilities.

While considered a “clean boost”, the Atlas IV is also a harmonic enhancer - an extension of your sound that multiplies existing harmonic content. The light tube-like harmonics and response of the Atlas IV, combined with a hot tube amp, results in harmonically rich tones and a layered dynamic response that can make this pedal hard to turn off.

AN EXPANDED CLASSIC

Spaceman is known for creating fantastic boost pedals and the Atlas IV is no exception. This is the next generation of the highly regarded Atlas III: Preamp Booster which has been out of production for several years. While retaining the same voice and subtle magic that the original is known for, we've now added two additional modes - making this Atlas more powerful than ever.

Thrust - Increases the harmonic saturation of the circuit, slightly lowering headroom and increasing max output by 5db. This will add more harmonic sparkle to the highs and slightly thicken the lows. The harmonic sweetness that this switch adds takes the Atlas circuit to a whole new level.

Axis - Shifts the voicing up, reducing bass and increasing treble. Designed to be used in conjunction with Thrust to offset its thickening effect and highlight the added upper harmonics. Axis-Shift can also turn the Atlas IV into a treble boost, or be used to balance between different pickups.
