Toneloc Level-Loc Compressor ColourThe Shure Level loc was a cheap, brick wall limiter made in the '60s which seemed destined to languish in junk bins and obsolete public address systems. However, it's distinctive, trashy character earned it a second life as a secret weapon in the racks of 90's 2000's mixing engineers. And once the word got out that the Level loc was behind some famously flavorful drum sounds, it's used price ballooned to $200 300. Tonecraft Audio's John Erickson, of A

The Shure Level-loc was a cheap, brick-wall limiter made in the '60s which seemed destined to languish in junk bins and obsolete public address systems. However, it's distinctive, trashy character earned it a second life as a secret weapon in the racks of 90's/2000's mixing engineers. And once the word got out that the Level-loc was behind some famously flavorful drum sounds, it's used price ballooned to $200-300.

Tonecraft Audio's John Erickson, of A-Designs Pacifica fame, has packed the Level-Loc circuitry into a Colour module, the Toneloc. The Toneloc recreates the Level-loc's peculiar attack/release time constants and dense distortion character.

As it contains all the circuitry of a full compressor, the Toneloc is an advanced kit recommended for experienced builders.

MKII Improvements

The Toneloc mkII contains the exact same circuitry that made the original such a popular Colour, with an added Release option and easier assembly.

The mkII version features a solderless jumper to select between two release times. FST is the default option which matches the behavior of the original unit. SLO is slower than the original release time, and will make the compression smoother and less aggressive. Part of the character of the Toneloc is that the release time varies based on the input level, so there is no single time constant for either setting.

The Toneloc mkII uses surface-mount resistors and ceramic capacitors. These parts come pre-populated, making the assembly process much faster and easier than the original.

Lengthy Shelves
Color: Black, Size: 72"L x 8"D, Set of 2, Color: Black, Size: 72"L x 8"D, Set of 2
I love these shelves! I specifically wanted shelves that were very long and that would, when put together, span the length of my room. These fit the bill! Quality: I was very worried about finding something that would hold up a good amount of weight, knowing I wanted to books on these shelves above my head! And I also wanted something with a nice texture that would be easily whipped down for dust. Both these points were covered. I have hade these shelves for several months now and they have successfully held ip a decent bit of weight, is a true black cooler with wood grain detail, and has not faded in color with dusted and whipped down to be cleaned. These are great quality and with the price!

Inexpensive frame with real wood and real glass
Color: Natural Pine Wood, Size: 12x16
Pros: - This frame uses real glass, which feels more premium than the usual plastic in the price range - The mat was cut nicely - I got the pine variant. Pine can look coarse, but for the two frames I purchased, the wood was oriented so that the fine grain faces forward, so it looked more refined. Cons: - Mat is a little thin - I might be missing it, but it looks like dimensions for the mat cutout are not provided in the product description. In case you are wondering what the dimensions are, I measured my mat opening to be 8.4" x 11.5" (I got the 12x16 matted to 9x12). Note that the mat is an off-white color, almost an ivory white.

Nice frames. Not so much customer service.
I really like the frames. They are nice wood and quality glass. My only complaint is that I ordered 3 in walnut to go side by side on the wall over the couch. I received them one by one and the last one that came was not walnut finish. I was easily able to request a return of the last one but when I reached out to ask them if more frames would become available in walnut again, I got no response. As I needed 3 matching frames, I wasn’t sure what to do. I checked daily on Amazon to see if they were in stock and luckily they did come available about a week later. I ordered and received the last frame in walnut and all is good. But, it would have been nice to receive a reply from the company.
