I like the Ross/Dyna Comp because the trimmers can all be brought to the outside for a total of 4 controls, and you do get some very different sounds.


I agree... but... I have built a OS and did those mods as well as had both controls where you can get to them... you know knobs and what'not.
It really is a nice pedal, but as nbabm says it has a sound. I like it after filters usually because it adds this cool attack that is really neat.

I have yet to build a Ross but I have used a old Ross before and thought it to be a nice pedal but in the end I like Limiters or Comps that can be used as a Limiter for live use.
