Blast Off: Harley Benton Drops Cosmic New 'Space' Pedals

Are you ready to take your pedalboard to another dimension? Harley Benton has officially dropped its brand new line of Space pedals, promising to add a cosmic cry to your guitar or bass rig.

The lineup features three distinct units built for both practicality and vintage tone: the Space Wah, the Space Volume, and the dual-functioning Space Wah/Volume. Whether you're chasing the iconic 1960s vocal sweeps, looking for silky volume swells, or want the ultimate two-in-one space saver, Harley Benton has designed these heavy-duty stompboxes to sit solidly at the front of your signal chain.

The Cosmic Combo: Space Wah/Volume

For crying out loud—literally. The flagship of the new line is the Space Wah/Volume, a highly versatile dual pedal that combines a vintage-voiced ’60s wah with a modern, boosted volume pedal. With a simple tap of your foot, players can swing seamlessly from expressive, funky sweeps to ambient volume swells.

On the wah side, vintage-tuned pots deliver an authentic frequency sweep from 400Hz to 2kHz. When switched to volume mode, the pedal goes beyond standard attenuation, offering a rotary-controlled boost of up to +10dB for when you really need to push your amp.

Because nobody likes a colored signal when a pedal is disengaged, it features a true bypass design. Harley Benton also included an adjustable rocker clutch, allowing you to dial in the exact physical resistance your foot prefers.

Key Specs: Space Wah/Volume

• Function: Combined classic wah and modern volume pedal
• Wah Sweep: 400 Hz (heel down) to 2 kHz (toe down)
• Volume Range: 0 dB to +10 dB via rotary control

Standalone Stars: Space Wah & Space Volume

If you prefer dedicated units, Harley Benton offers the standalone Space Wah and Space Volume pedals, both delivering the same road-ready build quality and true-bypass architecture.

The Space Wah

This is your ticket to a classic ’60s wah with a cosmic twist. It's built to deliver vocal-like sweeps, funky quacks, and searing rock leads. Driven by a vintage-tuned potentiometer, the Space Wah offers an authentic, old-school feel and response, complete with the adjustable rocker clutch so you can set your preferred tension.

• Design: True bypass in a heavy-duty housing
• Components: Vintage potentiometers
• Features: Adjustable pedal resistance, On/Off status LED

The Space Volume

Built for pure utility and silky-smooth swells, the Space Volume is a pragmatic pedal with a few clever tricks up its sleeve. A dedicated range knob allows you to set your absolute volume floor—from total silence up to a +10dB boost. Crucially, it includes an Aux/Tuner output, allowing you to isolate your tuner and tune up silently without breaking the flow of your live set.

Key Specs: Space Volume

• Volume Control: Range/Attenuate control (0 dB to +10 dB)
• Design: True bypass with a 250 kΩ input impedance
• Connectivity: Jack input/output, plus a dedicated Aux/Tuner output

Sail to Space

Simple, solid, and built to last. All three pedals in the Harley Benton Space series are housed in heavy-duty chassis and feature true bypass switching, ensuring your baseline tone remains pristine.

If you're looking to sweep, swell, or boost your way into orbit on guitar or bass, these new releases offer an incredibly affordable way to expand your pedalboard's sonic horizons. These are priced at €39 for the Volume and €49 for both wah models, making them a cheap ticket into space.
