Anyone know anything about these? I can't find any info about them. Thanks!

Never seen it before. Seems to have the same controls as MXR M152 Micro Flanger, so I wonder if the circuits are related? It's called stereo but has a single output, so I imagine you'd need a Y cable or something if it really is stereo. In which case the second channel is most likely a phase-flipped copy of the first.
Chank?

Never tried one of those.
The Commande series in general isn't very well regarded. I've tried a few of 'em (a long time ago) and wasn't that impressed.

IIRC it's identical apart from soft touch switching.

I think they were all plastic.

Though that seemed to be a trend for pedals in the Eighties.

If you're able to, definitely try it for yourself though!

If I make it to the local - as in "40 minute drive" - shop where they've got one for $70, I'll give it a go, but I'm pretty in love with my Starlight v2. If I do try it out, I'll be sure to report back!

Yeah, I'd say the Starlight is probably the superior choice.
