Prepare to be starstruck! Whereas the standard Astronomer is mostly faithful to the design of the Carlin Compressor, the Astronomer Deluxe adds some cool extra features and flexibility.
The most exciting feature in this version is the Octave switch. This allows you to tap into the rectified signal from the "broken" envelope detector, giving you access to an analog octave up. Turning up the fuzz and compression gives you a dirty octave that's a little bit mellower than classic octave fuzz pedals, while backing it off allows for a clean octave that's capable of ring-mod-like sounds. This feature also shines when you hit the input with your fuzz pedal of choice, giving you the octave fuzz you've been dreaming of. There are also internal trim pots for the octave-on level and tone, so you can boost for solos and cut out any harshness.
There are a few more features that make the pedal even more versatile. There is an additional Input knob, which lowers the input level and lets in some more low end, allowing for a better response with hotter pickups. This also makes it easier to use the pedal as an outboard compressor that can provide lots of interesting color. A toggle switch controls the attack/decay of the compressor, allowing for a faster response time at the cost of a bit more envelope distortion compared to the stock setting.
Like the standard Astronomer, JFETs are hand selected/biased, and enclosures are hand etched.
