How did I miss this thread?Thanks Frank for taking notice.
The knobs are now on. The photos without knobs were from the guy who built these for me, and he didn't happen to have a good knob supplier. I'll post a photo with the knobs soon. The pedals were built by my friend Leszek who was the engineer/designer at Exar effects.
The choice of a two-position threshold switch instead of a threshold knob was the best compromise Leszek could come up with between his circuit design and my wish-list of features. I would have preferred a knob with a wide range, but it wasn't feasible in this case.
It is based around the CA3080 like the dreaded Ross/Dynacomp, however Leszek managed to give it a nearly ruler-flat frequency response and very low noise. The Tone knob is a tilting EQ very much like the one in the Diamond comp. It has an LED to indicate the amount of compression.
Essentially it combines some of the best qualities of the Wampler and the Diamond, in a smaller size.
I only just received the pedals a couple days ago, so I have not yet put up a page advertising them for sale or going into detail. But soon! Very soon.
Thanks for the interest!
