Large CompROSSor
By Analog Man
The full-size version of Analog Man's improved Ross-style compressor, with external attack and mix knobs as standard.
About this pedal
The Large CompROSSor is Analog Man’s updated Ross compressor in a bigger box with silkscreened graphics, and it puts the attack and mix controls on the outside as standard. The attack knob clicks into the classic Ross/Dyna Comp setting at noon. With the mix all the way down the pedal becomes a clean boost and buffer.
It uses new-old-stock CA3080E chips, hand-tested transistors, high-quality capacitors and true bypass, and sounds best at 12 to 15V. A RYCK treble toggle is optional.
