Ross Clone Compressor

Great sound. The pedal doesn't color the signal.  I was very impressed by this product. Excellent value for money.

Bought a few days a go but very well built !

Easy to use, 2 knobs level and sustain

Excellent value for money !!!!

well, i'm not so used to compressors so it's taken me a while to really "get" what the point is.  i haven't used any others so i can't compare it, but i can say that, in practice with the band, & on stage, when this thing is on it just lends a completely smooth sound to my tone at the right settings.  you can really boost & sustain the crap out of a distortion or od pedal -- my treble booster sounds amazing after it in the chain, &, where the tb sometimes has harsh too-trebly overtones, with the sustain up on the goudie compressor, it's mellowed & rounded out perfectly.   i mostly leave it on the whole time i'm playing, although with the sustain down & the level up it can also work as a really transparent clean boost.  great pedal, great price!

super reliable thus far.  in a slightly-larger-than mxr casing, built with tank-like solidity.  great on gigs, doesn't scuff, beautiful powder-blue finish

Two knobs , couldn't be easier.  If you know about compressors, same deal as most of the rest - level & sustain.

russell goudie is a super nice guy, he was supportive & answered tons of questions BEFORE i even bought the thing!  he offers a two-year warranty for the original owner and replies within a day or two to most emails.  awesome

like i said, i can't compare this to anything.  the original ross comps still go for nutso money on ebay & elsewhere.  generally i am a vintage snob but i'd much rather buy three or four cool pedals than one jut because it's got a brand name.  plus, this is true bypass AND modded in the parts to help improve on the ross tone.  don't know how it compares with keeley's ross clone, but is also half the price.  the other reviews on this page make it clear that this is a winner - if you're thinking about getting a compressor, this is a great one to try out to give you the idea of what it can do for you & whether you need to keep looking for another one (i won't!)

I decided to try this out on a whim because I had a Dyna Comp and wasn't satisfied with my tone. This unit fattens up my Strat and has sustain for days. I run a Strat to this compressor then directly to my amp (Traynor YCV20WR with Extension Cab). This unit is also very quiet. A dream come true. I was so impressed with it that I bought his TS808 Plus which sounds better than any other 808 clone I've tried.

The unit is housed in an MXR style box and is solid as a rock. I cracked it open and checked the work inside which is also top-notch.

Very easy to use. Two knobs. Pretty straight forward.

I've dealt with Russel Goudie twice (Comp and 808) and both times he was very helpful. Emails were returned promptly. The guarantee is awesome as well. I'm confident that if I ever have a problem with my pedals (which I doubt) Russel will deal them.

I'm a hobby guitarist and have been playing seriously for about 10 years. I mess around with SRV, Clapton (blues), Hendrix (the usuals) and I dabble in classic rock and big hair band stuff from the 80's (a guilty pleasure). The GoudieFX Compressor beats the MXR hands down. If it were stolen I would definitely replace it but this time I would buy the finished product - the one I bought was unfinished, just a metal box with a couple of knobs. It's a fantastic pedal for the money. Well worth a try if you are looking for a solid and great sounding compressor.
