This is a Ross Compressor that I finally got around to building.  Had a devil of a time taking pictures, but oh well.

Have to say, I like that very much. Board by you?

I like that a lot!  I've been wanting to do a 4-knob clone for a while, but me and vero don't get along very well.

Yep, I did the board for this one.  I actually have some extras of this prototype.

The spacing is tight for the 1uF box caps,, so I am going to fix that for the next round of PCBs.  There is plenty of room for MLCC and maybe Panasonic film caps.  Obviously, I used box caps and they work, but I had to mount them up a bit.

If you have a spare board... and  an enclosure like that ....and  :)....Dave it is absolutely mint.

Seriously that is a must have board.

Yeah, I have a few spare boards I am planning on selling to finance the next round of boards.

Well put me down for one please, I have the vero layout, but hey that board just cries out Build Me :D
Nice one Dave you should have plenty askings for this one...its a great sounding pedal.

There's also the option of using tantalums like the keeley version too.  Those wont take up that much space.

lase tell me you're charging like a million dollars for these boards so I won't have to buy one,otherwise I'd give it a go also.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

I'd take a board Dave. Also, this build is super tidy. I like it a lot.

Love the Art Deco look. 

That's a great board layout, too-everything's in neat little rows 8)

If they're not all spoken for, I'd give a kidney or two for one of them.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

Those that would like a board, please PM me.  I think I have 6 total, but I will be getting more.  Because of my cap goof, these are $8 a piece.  I am planning on selling the corrected ones at $10 a piece.

Great work again Dave! I wish i would've known about this layout when i had those boards off you last week, certainly would have had one of these!!

if there are any left, i'll take one if that's cool? I did one of these on vero, and it's still in my box of shame waiting for me to have time!
