Spaceman Apollo VII Overdrive
They Say...
The Apollo VII is a rich, medium-gain overdrive with an intuitive layout and diverse sound palette. Take it from smooth and classic soft clipping to open and gritty at the flip of a switch or kick it on to push your amp right over the edge. With an array of tone-shaping options to explore and inspire, let it propel your creativity into orbit.
The simple control interface houses new and refined features while offering the highly regarded tone of the original. As a tribute to the Apollo VII, NASA’s first three-person space mission, there are three controls: level, gain and tone. Each has been optimized to offer a wide variety of sounds, with up to 40dB of gain on tap. The toggle switch also provides three options: LED clipping, silicon diode clipping, and no diodes. LED clipping offers mid-range focused grit - this is the sound of the Voyager I. Silicon diode clipping provides a more compressed and aggressive sound with a smoother decay tail. With no clipping diodes in circuit, the Apollo VII becomes much more touch-sensitive and will growl and bark with astounding dynamic variation.
