Title: Ross Compressor, almost jangleboxed, non MB content
Post by: timbo_93631 on March 22, 2012, 11:02:50 PM
Here is a Ross Compressor clone that I just finished, I had to stack resistors in some spots and trannies are all 2N2925's which made it a little less noisy than with 2N3904's and 2N2222A's.  I was going to go the Janglebox route and put different post-IC treble cut caps on a switch but I am trying to simplify things these days.  Without the .001uF cap that parallels the 150k (The cap you omit for the Janglebox mod) it was VERY bright. I just subbed caps until I settled on 680pF which offered the right mix of jangle and body for my tele.

Thanks Corey!
    It is Topcoat, stranded wire that is bathed in solder before the polyester sleeve goes on.  Routes like solid core, durable like stranded.  My favorite favorite stuff.
