Saturn VI Cadet: Harmonic Booster
A compact harmonic booster and low-gain overdrive in one, delivering up to 35dB of gain with a distinctly complex harmonic character.
About this pedal
Saturn VI Cadet packs Spaceman’s harmonic booster circuit into a smaller enclosure. It works equally well as a harmonic-laden clean boost or a low-gain overdrive, with up to 35dB of gain on tap and a voicing built around rich, complex harmonic content rather than a single fixed drive tone.
