The Saturn Pedals Spacewalk is a digital reverb pedal that offers a variety of spatial effects. According to the maker's product listing, it provides a range of reverbs including halls, rooms and plates, along with more experimental effects like Blackhole, MangledVerb and Shimmer. These effects are intended to simulate different acoustic environments or create unique, otherworldly sounds1.
What the Spacewalk does
The Spacewalk sits in the reverb and modulation territory, and its mode list spans both conventional and unusual sounds. The conventional end covers the reverb types most players use daily: halls for large spaces, rooms for smaller ones, and plates for the dense, smooth decay associated with studio plate reverbs. The experimental end includes Blackhole, MangledVerb and Shimmer, effects that push beyond realistic spaces into ambient and otherworldly textures1.
RockBoard's PedalPedia describes the pedal as having an intuitive interface for easy adjustment and control, allowing musicians to customize their sound1.
Power requirements
The Spacewalk runs on 9V DC with a center negative plug, the standard arrangement for most pedals and pedalboard power supplies. Its current draw is 500mA, which is a figure worth checking against your supply before adding it to a board1.
At 500mA, the Spacewalk draws more current than many standard pedals. A battery will not power it, and a daisy chain or a low-output supply slot may not either. Give it a supply output rated for 500mA at 9V1.

Questions
Is the Saturn Pedals Spacewalk analog or digital?
The Spacewalk is a digital pedal. Its circuit type is listed as digital, which is typical for a reverb pedal of this kind, since the long decay and the variety of reverb voices it offers are produced by digital processing rather than an analog circuit.
What power supply does the Spacewalk need?
The Spacewalk runs on 9V DC with a center negative plug and draws 500mA. That current draw is higher than many standard pedals, so a supply with enough headroom on its outputs is worth considering before adding it to a pedalboard.
Is the Spacewalk center negative?
Yes. The pedal takes 9V DC, center negative, which is the standard polarity used by most guitar pedals and by the majority of pedalboard power supplies.
Can the Spacewalk run on a battery?
With a 500mA current draw, the Spacewalk is not a candidate for battery power. A battery cannot deliver that kind of current for long, so the pedal is meant to be powered from a mains adapter or a pedalboard power supply capable of supplying 500mA at 9V.
What reverb modes does the Spacewalk have?
The Spacewalk covers a range of reverb types including halls, rooms and plates, along with more experimental effects such as Blackhole, MangledVerb and Shimmer. These are intended to simulate acoustic environments or to create unique, otherworldly sounds.
Where can I find the Spacewalk manual?
The English manual for the Spacewalk is available as a download linked from the pedal's product listing, hosted as a shared file. It covers the pedal's controls and operation in detail.
