I like that they put that tiny lil knob right next to the STOMP switch. I can't foresee anything bad happening.
Do people who pay €480 for a fuzz pedal gig them much you think?

is this the Ian Thornley pedal? Don't get me wrong, love me some Big Wreck but I'd be shocked if I'm invested more than the cost of a CD into my fandom even having seen them live back in 98 at Oz Fest

What is that even? There's no branding of any kind, that's weird.

Yeah it is, he rules…but watching the demos it looks like you can’t run the octave side and the fuzz side at the same time. Huge L.

WHat are we thinking the battery simulator is?

Noticed this on their page as well. Why offer a simulation when they peddle this as well?

The CompanDrive 65 is a faithful recreation of the legendary companding circuit found on virtually every studio tape recording since the introduction of the first Dolby noise reduction process in 1965. This all-analog SoloDallas design captures the elusive studio magic heard on countless classic recordings.
At its core, the signal path is carefully recreated and optimized: the guitar first passes through the Vintage Console Gain Circuit which utilizes the famed LM308 op-amp, then into the 65 Compressor, followed by the 65 Expander, and finally through our Vintage OpAmp Boost. Together, these perfectly balanced stages comprise a secret recipe of warmth, harmonics and dynamics, producing that immediately familiar je ne sais quoi from the golden era of recording.
From the moment you click it on, the CompanDrive 65 reveals itself as a missing link—unlocking a wide range of inspiring, mix-ready studio guitar tones with depth, clarity, and musical feel.
Vintage Console Gain Circuit (VCGC)
Produces rich, hi-fi overdrive with abundant harmonics while subtly shaping frequencies to add fullness, presence, and clarity in the mix.
65 Compressor
Delivers a smooth, blooming soft-knee attack that enhances note separation and adds musical harmonic clipping without choking dynamics.
65 Expander
Restores overall signal amplitude, removing unwanted “pump and squish” while further emphasizing the harmonics generated by the VCGC and compressor stages.
Vintage OpAmp Boost
A classic op-amp design that preserves delicate frequencies and maintains clarity as output level is increased, making the CompanDrive 65 equally at home on a pedalboard or in the studio.

Also, to me this thread feels a lot like the "Talk me out of buying..." threads seen on Reddit.
Which is a good thing.

I think I prefer to have this dedicated non wishlist thread instead of the option of negative votes in the wishlist.

This falls kind of short IMO. Like Nostra mentioned, only one side can be used at a time. It’s like if you took a double muffin, made one side octavey, and replaced the toggle with a footswitch. And use relays for the footswitches to toggle them via MIDI.
Analog gain pedals with MIDI are few and far between, so that’s cool. But they could have done so much more. I bought a used Discovery delay, and every single parameter has a CC control. I’ll give them credit for 128 PC presets, but literally all it does is toggle the footswitches.
There’s room for another set of TS jacks at the top. It could be a true dual pedal with series/parallel options, able to patch into independent locations in a pedal chain.
But then again, maybe that’s more functionality than anyone cares about for a fuzz.
