Explore deep tone space with the Spaceman Effects Polaris. A resonant, medium gain overdrive with the same incredibly broad control parameters we've come to expect from the Portland-based boutique brand. 

The Polaris is one of the most crisp, smooth and flexible overdrives we've ever heard. It has all the options you'd want from a pedalboard-worthy gigging stompbox, with the exceptional sound quality you require when recording.

Control Layout

Spaceman Effects like to do things different to your run-of-the-mill pedal company. The Polaris has an interesting set of shaping functions, with four of the six controls used purely for tonal adjustment. The two toggles are extremely unique to an overdrive pedal. The Bass switch lets you choose between bass cut, full-pass and bass boost to suit your natural guitar tone. 

Filter is the star of the show, as you can select a one-pole, two-pole or resonant two-pole settings which dive to different depths and frequency ranges. After a mid-boost screamer sound? Done. Classic full-range overdrive? Easy. Unique, sweeping pulses of gain? Absolutely.

From there, simply adjust the Filter dial for micro tweaking and the Initial control knob to blend your raw, pre-filtered overdrive.

Connectivity

Unlock the true potential of the Polaris with a TRS expression pedal or automatic device. This opens the door to some otherworldly exciting new sounds. Adjusting the Filter allows for some serious in-depth tone shaping.

Effects

An effect is a modification applied to the instrument’s sound to alter its tonal characteristics, dynamics, or spatial properties. Effects can be achieved through electronic devices such as pedals, processors, or built-in effects units, and they offer a wide range of sonic possibilities.

Musicians use effects to enhance their sound, create unique textures, and expand the expressive capabilities of their instruments across various musical genres.

Overdrive

Overdrive is a popular guitar effect that creates a warm, distorted sound by amplifying the signal of an electric guitar, typically using a pedal or an amp’s built-in circuit. The effect simulates the natural distortion that occurs when a tube amplifier is pushed to its limit, creating a rich, harmonic response that adds sustain, warmth, and character to the tone. Overdrive pedals are commonly used to add grit and growl to a clean tone without the harshness of full distortion.

The overdrive effect works by boosting the input signal, causing the amplifier to break up and clip the waveform, resulting in a smooth, musical distortion. This is often more subtle and less aggressive than other forms of distortion, making overdrive pedals ideal for blues, classic rock, and country players who seek a dynamic sound that responds to their playing touch. Overdrive pedals can be used in conjunction with other effects like delay and reverb to shape a more complex, evolving sound. Popular overdrive pedals include the Ibanez Tube Screamer, the Fulltone OCD, and the Boss OD-3, each offering different tonal characteristics, from smooth and bluesy to punchy and aggressive.

Pedal

A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.

This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.

Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.

Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
