Retrospec mini compressor (Company never heard of it!)

Mark1985

Hey guys.
I just got a Retrospec mini compressor in a trade and have been scouring the internet for some info on it. 
I found the company is based in new york and specialise in high-end compressors but still couldn't find any info on my compressor.
I emailed Retrospec asking for a user manual and a few details on it to which I received a reply from the company director Ken McKim stating that he had never seen this compressor before and that Retrospec has never produced a mini version of their compressors. 

This has left me very curious as to who actually made it. 

It has 3 preset attack setting (short, med & long) and a volume and sustain knob.
I've yet to find a bad setting on it and its actually one of the best compressors I've played, which again makes me even more curious as to who made it. Would love to know if they've made any other awesome pedals!

Just looking at the Retrospec compressor on Ovnilab. Large, complex, expensive thing so it’s not what one of them in a small box. 

All I found was this, but you already have I think:

Yeah that's me. Surely these couldn't have gone into production using another brands name so I would guess there wouldn't be many of them about. It is quite possibly the one in the video.

Sounds like the Retrosonic comp. A take on the Ross circuit. A self builder with spelling issues maybe?

He also has a video of a Retrospec branded delay. Odd.
