Atlas IV: Preamp Booster
A clean-boost-classified preamp/booster with two levels of harmonic enhancement, adding dimension to your existing tone without changing its core character.
About this pedal
The Atlas IV works as a booster, preamp, and general tone enhancer in one. Though Spaceman classifies it as a clean boost, it offers two selectable levels of harmonic enhancement on top of a naturally wide dynamic response, adding extra dimension to your amp’s existing voice rather than recoloring it.
