Sarno Music Solutions - NEW OVERDRIVE PEDAL 2025 - Space Dust MINI

Post by Brad Sarno »

We have a brand new overdrive pedal. It's the Space Dust MINI Overdrive. Unlike our Earth Drive with its very neutral and natural EQ curve and smooth amp-like overdrive character, the new Space Dust has a much more aggressive midrange, much tighter/leaner bass response, and a more complex, asymmetrical overtone content. It's really great for rock sounds and really shines on single note leads where each note has a lot of "hair" and complexity, richness.

One of it's specialties for steel guitar players is that it happens to do a killer Lindley "Running on Empty" style lead tone.

I'll attach the website's description below.

The SMS Space Dust Mini is our fresh and unique take on a classic, midrange-forward high-gain overdrive circuit. With asymmetrical clipping and a blend of germanium and silicon textures, it delivers rich harmonic overtones, smooth sustain, and articulate punch — all in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format. From edge-of-breakup drive to full-on howl, Space Dust stays lush and smooth — never harsh, brittle, or fizzy.

Whether you're chasing soaring lead tones, tight rhythm crunch, or a cutting solo boost, Space Dust delivers:

Full-bodied single notes that sing with sustain
Defined, harmonic-rich chords that punch through the mix
Tight low end, forward mids, and a sparkling top-end presence


Space Dust vs Earth Drive: While our Earth Drive is known for its transparent, organic tone, the Space Dust brings:

More midrange aggression and presence
Tighter, leaner bass response
Higher gain, more dirt, and longer sustain
The two pedals also stack beautifully, covering a wide tonal spectrum — from clean boost to saturated lead tones — all with SMS’s signature warmth and clarity.
