Members Faber Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 Okay this might be a stupid question, but you gotta learn somehow: I see some of these boutique compression pedals described as Ross Clones or updates on that design. Now, I haven't tried any of those, or an original Ross for that matter, but from what I've read, the Ross was originally an updated/improved Dyna Comp design. So my question is: Will all the pedals of the Ross family have the sonic fingerprint of a Dyna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members strangegrey Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 I always thought it was the other way around, that the dyna was a modification of the ross.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right. They're the same family, so they're fairly similar. A few component changes. Some like Ross better, others like Dyna. Both are squishy!

Yes, if you hate a dynacomp you will not love a ross clone, in that case try something like an orange squeezer clone (our Juicer or one of many other good clones). have fun!

Members powerplayj Posted December 21, 2005 Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 Originally posted by analogmike Yes, if you hate a dynacomp you will not love a ross clone I found this not to be true. I bought a stock Dynacomp and thought it was "plinky" and thin. I built a Ross clone and it is so much smoother and was everything I thought a compressor should be.

Members Faber Posted December 21, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 Thanks for the replies guys. Actually, I like my dunlop Dyna Comp, but I could see myself getting something with a bit less colouring of the bypassed sound someday.And Analogmike: I'm already gassing for one of those Juicers as it is, no need for the enabling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faber Posted December 21, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 It is noisy, but I don't know that it is unreasonably so. You know, I used to have the Carl Martin, and that had the clearest sound I could imagine, but also had two things I didn't like 1) the range of sounds was impressive, but in the end got in my way. I like something that is easier to dial in and forget about. 2) Whatever one might say about the dyna comp, it has a "personality", a distinctive recognizeable sound. The CM doesn't. So I feel that I traded down in terms of sound quality, but up in terms of effect quality and ease of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original script logo MXR Dynacomp sounds beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
