Hamstead Soundworks Subspace

[Naack]

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I was wondering if anyone has been using the Subspace for a while now and what their thoughts on it are. From all the demos I have seen, it looks pretty versatile, but that price tag is... substantial. Thoughts?

I've had the Subspace since release in early 2020; it's a super versatile pedal that does a lot of things, and the routing of drive before or after eq, or no eq at all really truly intuitive. Unfortunately with the amount of options it has I've refrained from keeping it on my board and using it more as a studio tool. I'd rather have a pedal with less knobs and mini toggles on the road and taking a beating than something that can achieve seemingly any sound you can think of. It's a great pedal, you get so many sounds out of it, and it works on a lot of sources well because of the parallel cleans you can add and even boost; it's also just super well made and the truly silent click switch is just one of many features that puts it over the top and deserving of the price it's fetching. I've debated selling mine so many times because it's not used everyday by me, but then I use it again and realize why it's sticking around

I had one - sold it. Awesome pedal, does a lot for the size. And I liked it a lot.
But ..... the switches are CLOSE to the footswitch which resulted in some accidental volume spikes in the middle of songs etc. I found it time consuming to dial in if you want more than one sound. Not a knock at all, fantastic pedal. If those switches were recessed to avoid accidental flipping via foot, I'd have kept it.
So I ended up selling it. I just want something I can dial in quicker should my tone need help on stage.
FWIW, my main is currently a FTT Black Vehicle.

Thank you both for your input. I am glad you both pointed out the issue with the switches and knobs being close to the foot pedal, as that is not something I would have considered. I think I will order one in the coming months as the diversity it can create is pretty staggering. Does anyone know what frequency the bass and treble cut/boost?

Again, thank you both for your insight!

Hello, has anyone had the opportunity to play the GE limited version, and if so how does it compare to the standard edition? I might have the opportunity to land a second hand one.

I'm interested in the fact that they did this, but I also wish they had some kind of demo to show what a germanium Subspace sounds like.

It has landed, great tones from the get go. It’ll take some time to get a good feel for it, tonnes of options. Top notch construction.
