Curiosity question: how did you decide on THAT name for the compressor? Is there a story behind it? I don't think "Compressor" when I see it... I can't help myself from thinking "1337 kid in the basement playing Warcraft." lol
Just curious Spencer!

(I was never a Warcraft player, but I'm familiar with "'leet' speak." For those who aren't, here are some Urban Dictionary links for you  ) 1337 Speak pwn pwnzor | Yeah dude ... You such a nub. WoW players
Arnt nerds ( not on the australian server atleast ) we don't speak like that :P well pwn you are right but 1337 ... Really ? |

It's been so hard waiting for the compressor alone. I set aside roughly enough to get it once it comes out and it's been a challenge not just picking up something else with those funds.
Patience has never been one of my strengths.

I thought I was over compression but this is giving me a major GAS attack.

His etching process produces the best-looking pedals in the business. He actually helped me with the midrange section of my upcoming EQ, and he's restoring my old SVT right now as well. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Denver, CO | | | I'm kind of lukewarm on Fromel. I've got two Fromel pedals, a Seraph and a custom DIG/Shape EQ. Both sound pretty good and the case art is super cool. The Seraph has a bonsai tree/sunset with twinkling micro LEDs and the DIG/EQ has a cross section from my 3/4 tribal sleeve tattoo. (I can post pics if you guys like.) However, both pedals took much longer than he told me. The DIG/EQ in particular took 8 months for a 3 month build, and then the overdrive side didn't work when it got to me. To his credit though, I sent it back and he got it back to me right away.
Anyway Spencer, I do actually have a question on the upcoming compressor: Does the LED do anything to show you it's... compressing? I've got an EBS Multicomp (that isn't doing it for me), but the LED gets brighter as it compresses more. Just curious. When I use it, it's kind of nice to have that visual telling me it's doing it's thing.

5sg. | Yes! It's a dual-color LED. Green lights up when the pedal is on, and it changes to red as it compresses more. |

Seems PWNZOR can fill the "booster" space on my board...

When's the order page going up? lol
So I realized, so far I own one of every pedal you've made so far and I'm even on the list for your overdrive prototype. The synth....... I'm not sure. I don't think I'm a synth guy, just like I'm know I'm not a fuzz guy.
You should endorse me.
