Compressor Transparent and Smooth The Retro-Sonic Compressor is an accurate reproduction of the famous grey Ross Compressor known for is smooth compression and attack response. The Ross design is updated with true bypass switching and the finest components, providing clean, smooth compression with low noise and incredible transparency. You will notice note-to-note levels that are smoother and more consistent, chords and picking that is tighter and more detailed, and sustain that will last and last when used with an overdriven amp! An attack control allows you access to full settings (Fast, Medium, and slow). You will notice note-to-note levels that are smoother and more consistent, chords and picking that is tighter and more focused, and when used with an overdriven amp, sustain that will last and last! Notably, you will find minimal coloration to your guitar signal and less of the note-attack alterations so common with other compressors Features: • Clean and natural compression effects with little change of original tone for evenly leveled rhythm playing, smooth pick attack and sustain for lead guitar. • Heavy duty foot switch for True By-Pass switching • Sturdy cast aluminum housing • Can be used as a booster, giving gain without coloring the amplifiers original sound • On/Off LED to check effect status and battery condition. • Powered by 9v battery or 9v DC adapter Controls: 1.
