Apollo VIIb Cadet: Preamp / Overdrive
A compact version of Spaceman's Apollo VIIb preamp/overdrive circuit, isolating the preamp and drive section of the Voyager tremolo series in its own pedal.
About this pedal
The Apollo VIIb Cadet takes the preamp and overdrive section from Spaceman’s Voyager tremolo series and packages it as a standalone compact pedal. It delivers rich, complex overdrive textures with a balanced, dynamic response, offering the Apollo VII circuit’s voice without the built-in tremolo.
