ROSS
In the early 70's MXR was king but you could buy ROSS and DOD. Yes we had Boss and Ibanez but they had like we have today with the Chinese pedals stigma They are not American and can not be any good. ____
Bud Ross started with Kustom Amplification that he was persuaded to sell to the Baldwin Piano company. He soon got bored and wanted to do something new. Even then if you wanted to make a pedal you started by seeing how others made theirs. Hence the famous Ross pedal that took the MXR Dyna Comp and approved on it by reducing the ping pong ball hitting the table attack.
Many loved the Ross pedals but once players stopped "Listening with their Eyes" Boss and Ibanez started to take off as they were at minimum equal but cheaper so it was goodbye then goodbye by 3 more owners who could not find a formula.
Big BUT! This time Ross is in the hands of the Master of Vintage Pedals. Josh Scott of JHS. He nailed the original sounds but at the push of a button gave you tweaked modern sound.
