Knoblessness

I was at Davis earlier today to check out these knobless pedals by Henretta Engineering. Turn them ON/OFF & that's about it. However, there are internal trim pots which can be accessed via the base plate removal to fine tune your desired performance before re-embracing the knoblessness performance once more. 

I have to give it to them for simplicity- thumbs up. However, it's rather annoyinng that one cannot vary one's desired outcome by turning some knobs. I think we are all accustomed to that & having none of that on offer here is just plain 'wrong'. However, if you are the set & forget type, they are highly recommended especially when the tones on offer are good tones, nothing wimpy. Compressor, fuzz, filter, boosts, tremolo, octave & a pre-amp are currently in the line up. No dedicated drive/distortion on offer yet.
