Ross Compressor

Requested by Tom. 

It is based on MXR Dyna Comp but has some extra bits mainly for addidtional power and Vref filtering for Q1 and the OTA IC. So I had to add two extra rows but it will still fit in a 1590b box without problem.

  3. Yeah, if you want a simple compressor, this is probably all that you need. Most guys set the compression at maybe 9 o'clock and crank the volume to 3 though. It has a lot of squish on tap.

  4. Hi fuzzhead! I would like to make a request for another great compressor, the last version (v1.4 updated at 2019) of the Engineer's Thumb compressor.

    Thanks in advance

    1. It almost reminds me of playing a clean fuzz pedal...if that makes any sense at all. Into a drive it'll almost give you infinite sustain when comp is maxed.

  7. I have made myself a device that cooks expensive chips. I think I need a break.

    1. That's the worst. My attempt at the Frantone Brooklyn OD loves cooking chips.

      Shine a flashlight under the board and check to make sure you don't have any obvious solder bridges creating a nasty short.
