      As you know, the Mercury III comes with some goodies: A silver "space suit" protective bag; a sticker; and a special 1" button.  The makers of that button gave a shout-out to Spaceman today on their blog - check them out here: Busy Beaver Buttons

      Thanks to everyone who jumped at the opportunity to share their Spaceman experience on the new User Reviews page!!

      More Fuzz coming soon....

      Outside, the Portland air is warm and the sun has finally made an appearance after months and months of seemingly endless rain.  However, here in the underground top-secret Spaceman laboratory, it is quite cool & comfortable.

      The test equipment is on overload as we dial in the next two Spaceman releases, which are just around the corner!

      As for the Mercury III, it's long pre-order stint has come to a close.  Orders placed now will ship within 3 days!  The Copper Edition is now sold out and the White Edition is nearing the end - The time is now if you're thinking about a NASA Indicator version!

      We just made many improvements to the Spaceman Web Portal, including a bunch of photos and finally a couple Mercury III videos!  We also have a video of our own, plus a few audio clips coming soon.

      New to the site is the User Reviews page - If you feel like sharing your Spaceman experience with the world, now you can!  (and please do!).

      Samples?  Where are my samples?!  There is a light at the end of the tunnel - they are coming soon!

      We're working our way down the Mercury III pre-order list and etching away at the four-week lead time, we're now at two weeks!  If you want to skip the wait, our friends at Analogue Haven just received a box of Mercury III's!

      Thinking about a super-limited Copper Edition Mercury III?  Well, we're down to just one left!!

      The Museum of Making Music in California is presenting the "Art of the Stompbox" exhibit, June 1 - Sept 30.   On display are two one-of-a-kind Spaceman pedals, a White Rumblefuzz and a Polished Copper Mercury III.  Looks to be an awesome exhibit - check it out if you're in the area!

      Well, as you can tell - I have not had the chance to make audio samples for the Mercury III yet!

      Orders are still coming in, so all my time has been devoted to making these as fast as I can - and for the Mercury III, that's not too fast :-)  The good news is that Spaceman will soon be a small team!  This will help our release schedule speed up, and help eliminate long production times.

      We're excited to welcome StompThatBox.com to our list of Dealers!   You may remember the Rumblefuzz video they made, now they have an online store!   They have a case of Mercury III: Silver Edition in stock NOW - Eliminate the wait-time and get Free Shipping!

      It's been super busy here at the Spaceman underground secret laboratory!

      Due to an overwhelming response to the Mercury III Pre-Order, I am holding off on posting audio clips and additional photos until I get these out the door.   Shipments will begin at the end of the week, so I hope to be able to take a break to record audio clips in the next week or two!!

      I know a lot of you are waiting for more info on the Mercury III and I appologize for the delay!   Soon my friends, soon :-)

      ...and we have liftoff!!  Mercury III Pre-Orders have begun!!

      The Mercury III - Germanium Harmonic Boost is now open for Pre-Orders!   If you're looking to grab one of the Copper or White Editions (complete with NASA surplus indicators!) or just a special number, now is your chance to get in ahead of the rest!

      More information is now available on the Mercury III, but new photos and audio clips are still in the works.   They will be added this week as they materialize.   I know I promised them today - but as a one-man show, there's just not enough time in a day!

01.11.10
      Happy New Year!!  I hope all your Holiday times were wonderful!

      I've been locked in the Laboratory for many moons, sorting out the first few releases of 2010!   Much experimenting (along with a bit of associated deafness), brings us to the next release: Mercury III - Germanium Harmonic Boost!   Info is now up on the products page, along with a few sneak-peek photos.

      I'm going to take this week to wrap up the last minute details, crunch some numbers, take new photos and hopefully get some sound-bytes up.   Pre-Orders will be available for the first time with this one, starting next Monday.   So if there's a special number you're looking for, or you really dig one of the Super-Limited versions, this will be a good chance to be first in line!

      Oh, and click HERE for a new owner submitted Rumblefuzz video!

      Hello from the Spaceman Laboratory!  I apologize for the lack of updates - It's been a busy time here, lot's of experiments and noise-making!

      The next release is going to be the first Spaceman Boost - but of course, it won't be just ANY boost...

      Unfortunately, I must make you wait just a bit longer for the details - but just a couple of weeks...  Photos, samples, etc etc are anxiously waiting to present themselves!!  Lot's of fun things in the works!!

08.07.09
      It's been crazy here at the Spaceman Laboratory the past month!

      Howdy!  Check out this awesome Video Review of the Rumblefuzz from StompThatBox.com: Click Here!!

      We've reached the halfway point on the Rumblefuzz, only 24 left as of today!  We're still working on getting them into a few more retailers before they're all gone - get yours before it's too late!!

05.09.09
     It's been a busy month!  We've been working hard on the next release(s) as well as keeping up with Rumblefuzz orders.

     There have been a couple kind reviews by new Rumblefuzz owners, you can find them on the links page.  There you will also find the current list of Oregon retail locations, where you can try out and purchase the Rumblefuzz pedal.

     If there is a shop in your area where you would like to see the Rumblefuzz, please let us (and them) know!  We hope to have more information available on the next release(s) by the end of the month, so stick around!

04.10.09
     It's official, we're all out of the Blue Rumblefuzz!!  Thanks to all who picked those up!  We still have plenty of Silver Rumblefuzz left and are working on getting them into more local shops, plus a few online stores as well.

     I will be heading through Salem and Eugene Oregon, partly for the Cherry City Music Festival and partly to get the Rumblefuzz into a few shops down there, look out for them on Saturday!

     Centaur Guitar is now stocking the Rumblefuzz, go hear one for yourself!

04.01.09
    It's been a busy week!  Number 4 is the last BLUE Rumblefuzz left!  I think i'll keep it on hand for a web order.  Number 3 sold this week at Old Town, so I dropped off a nice Silver number 9 to replace it... Trade Up NE has number 8 - stop in and check one out!

     I'm working on a little site update this morning, then off to build more Rumblefuzzezz.  The next releases are looking like a Boost and an Overdrive, but I don't know which first - what do you think?  Other cool stuff in the works!!

03.20.09
    The site is bit more exciting now, with added audio clips and Rumblefuzz info.  You can also place orders online now, using a credit card through PayPal's secure site!  I still want to get the warranty info up on the site for the Rumblefuzz, I hope to get that up in the next day or two.

     Rumblefuzz number 3 is being dropped off at Old Town Music today, this one has bit higher gain than the silver versions (but with the same magical tone) and is one of the last 3 blue versions left!  Go check it out in person and plug it in!

    Well, it's 3.18.09 in the AM and i'm a little behind on the web side of things!  I will have some more information up soon and orders will be placeable today!

     No stores have a copy yet, but I will be dropping at least one off somewhere today.  Currently as a one-man operation, there's just not enough time in a day!  Oh yeah, I made some audio samples this week - they will be up here and at the Mypace page this afternoon as well!!

    Welcome to Spacemaneffects.com v1.0 - it will be under construction for awhile, as information trickles in...  Yes, today is Friday the 13th, maybe I chose the wrong day to go live?  I'll make sure not to walk under any ladders today.  

    I have been working away on the Rumblefuzz, the first Spaceman release.  They look and sound amazing, and definitely worth the several hours of work put into each one!  I completed two Rumblefuzz pedals yesterday and they were sold immediately!  So I am going to make next Wednesday the first day of making them available online, so I can have a few days to make a handful more to have on hand.

    I will be dropping a few off at stores around Portland next week, and will post them as I get them out there.
