Classic Compressor
Our 5 Knob Compressor is the pinnacle in the evolution of the Dynacomp/Ross circuit.  Yet some people still
prefer the lower-fi vintage sound and simplicity of a straight up Ross compressor clone.  For those people,
we offer the Classic Compressor.  It has no modifications, just the standard Sustain and Level knobs.  The
circuit is true to the original Ross gray compressor and comes with the CA3080E chip and 2N5088 transistors
(these are the semi-conductors currently used in the Keeley Compressor).   1% Metal film resistors, polyester
metal film caps, a double sided PCB, and Neutrik jacks make this kit a bargain when compared to other Ross
clones.  And yes, this pedal is true bypass.

The stock BYOC Classic Compressor kit
can go head to head with the finest Ross
clones.  But add the Vintage Upgrade Pack
and you'll give your compressor the
vintage mojo that the the other clones just
don't have.  Comes with one CA3080A
chip, one TO-100 gold plated socket, and
five 2SC1849 transistors.  The metal can
CA3080A was the chip used in the very
first script logo Dynacomps.  The 2SC1849
transistors were used in the script logo
Dynacomps, the original Ross gray
compressor, and the early Keeley
Compressors.  With the Vintage Upgrade
Pack, the compressor has all the squish of
the CA3080E/2N5088 combo, but with a
more natural attack, more overall volume,
and better retention of high frequencies.  
These parts aren't cheap, but they're well
worth the extra coin if you're looking for the
ultimate Ross clone.
