Ed	Re: Compressors P.S. I forgot to also mention that this Ross had almost twice of the available gain, works great in front of a tube screamer, or even after it for that mater.

Re: Compressors

Hi Ed,

Since you have the schematic ,I would like like to have a copy of it. Could you scan it and send it to my address ?

Would really appreciate it. By the way I used to haev the old MXR dynacomp with the 3080 in it but sold it and some time ago I bought the reissue but didn't get the same result with it: it seems to have a diffent chip, sounded reasonable but the releasetime is too long for me. Would anybody know how to fix this ?

Regards Alfons

EricH	Hi Ed, There seems to be a lot of interest in that Ross compressor, I tried one in the mid/late 70's and was very impressed. I ended up with a Dyna-Comp (still have it) for some reason I can't remember. I recall that the range of compression on thr Ross was much greater. Anyway, I f you could email GEO, or aron or AMZ a copy of the schematic, I'm sure a lot of us would love to see it. -Eric

Jay Doyle	Currently Ed and myself are trying to get a complete schematic together to post to GEO, AMZ, Aron's etc. But we apparently have two different pedals. Mine has an LED/LDR unit while his does not. We'll keep y'all posted. Jay Doyle

R.G.	Yeah, I'd be glad to post both, as well as doing some comparison and contrast on the circuits.

Jukka	Another dynacomp clone have to be mentioned , It's called "The Choker" from LOCOBOX (yellow painted , aluminium box ) , by quick checking the circuit looks like a similar , using a 3080 and so on. (if added fet buffering isn't counted) I have one , and its like Block logo dynacomp , much cheaper though . I think these are not made anymore. Jukka

Dave James	Mike, I bought an MXR Dynacomp over the weekend. During the try out, I found the MXR quite able to handle my heavy-handed input without distortion. It seemed very "smooth". Later, DJ
