Damn you! Lucky sonofabitch. I'm hoping i can snag one of the more limited runs they still haven't announced yet. Would love to hear what you think once you get it. I owned a Sputnik a long time ago but sold it and wishing i never did now.
I'm excited about it, but TBH, I'd rather that it would have been just another run of the original version. I'm not crazy about the size of the V2, nor the fact that it has side jacks.

I have that page open and refresh it every few hours just in case.
Just sign up for Spaceman's mailing list. He'll send you an email everytime he's going to put something up for sale.

Blue Box was the first pedal I ever modded. Added two toggles, one to switch between 1 or 2 octaves down, and another that made it brighter, harsher, louder, and meaner..c16 I think...

Ha, do you still have yours? If not, I might have this very pedal. I got it from ThurberMingus. It's freaking sweet.

I think it's the one! I know I traded it, but couldn't remember to who. Lemme know if you get bored with it ;)

I think the Fulltone is based on the Octavia.

I really like the Home Brew Electronics "UFO" fuzz (Ultimate Fuzz Octave). The basic fuzz sounds great without the octave, and the octave is potentially more upfront than a lot of other boxes I tried (can be dialed in to taste)

I haven't been keeping up with octave fuzzes for a while though, so I haven't tried a bunch...
