Product information

The first Sputnik returns!

Featuring the original Sputnik circuit in a compact enclosure - but with a twist: Sputnik I features NOS silicon ​transistors - delivering all the texture, warmth, and mojo of the original while adding the benefits of rock-solid stability and consistency. There's also additional gain on tap, allowing the Sputnik I to take you to new fuzz horizons.

The silicon transistors bring their own sonic edge, offering additonal gain levels to go further than any Sputnik to date. We’ve also included the updated Scan control from the Sputnik IIb, expanding your tonal shaping options while preserving the untamed spirit of Drift Mode. In keeping with the original, the Sputnik I has no input transformer, making it more lively, while providing a wider frequency range. It’s the Sputnik III’s wild younger sibling, with a sound and feel that’s an absolute joy to play.

Sputnik I delivers remarkable tonal versatility. The Range control spans everything from light overdrive to thick, sustained fuzz, while the unique Calibrate control shapes your tone in dynamic interaction with it — unlocking an even broader spectrum of sounds. And that’s only scratching the surface of what the Sputnik I can do.

Alongside the three main control knobs, Sputnik I features two toggle switches: Filter and Sync/Drift. The Filter switch engages a second tone circuit, instantly doubling your tonal palette. Switch to Drift Mode, and Sputnik transforms - unleashing synth-like tones, oscillation, pseudo-octaves, 8-bit artifacts, and more. The mini Scan control adds another layer of precision, making every parameter highly interactive in Drift Mode, including your instrument’s own controls. Go subtle or go extreme - you can shape it, tame it, or let it run wild.

Sputnik I delivers an uncommonly wide orbit of fuzz tones; from smooth and vintage to splatty, sputtery, and completely off-the-rails. Exceptionally responsive and versatile, the Sputnik I: Silicon Fuzz is ready to propel you into new sonic galaxies, where soaring sustain, rich textures, and cosmic levels of chaos await.
