Detail 01
All-germanium circuit
The fuzz uses germanium throughout.

Independent shopping perspective
Sputnik III is an all-germanium fuzz pedal using vintage Soviet transistors. Its wide fuzz range moves from smoother or gritty textures to thick, thin, buzzy, bassy, splatty, sputtery, noisy, and more controlled settings. That breadth makes it a fit for parts where the fuzz character itself needs to change substantially, including settings described as fully untamed. The pedal has a silver finish.
