Notes From BMC: 

The Redstone Germanium Pre-Amp is a pedal just waiting to bring a smile to your face.  Its straight forward tone stack is easy to dial in and capable of all kinds of filtering and tone fattening goodness.  Whether your after vintage clean sparkle, mid-boosted drive or just looking for a new sonic territory, the Redstone has you covered! 

The Rundown From Our Friends At Spaceman:  

The Redstone is a flexible preamp with a 3-band tone stack powered by a vintage NOS germanium transistor. An homage to the early NASA launch vehicle, and an alternate reimagining of our Mercury platform, the Redstone is designed to be a stable and pervasive companion on your ventures across the cosmos of sound.

Using the Mercury as an inspiration to build upon, the Redstone offers additional control over gain, and tone compared to its older sister. The first stage and tone stack are built to closely emulate the input stage of a tube amp. The core gain cell is a discrete op-amp with high headroom, capable of 40dB of gain. This beautifully integrated combination yields amazingly rich and detailed layers of harmonic sparkle, lending dimension and muscle to your tone when pushed.
