The ROSS Distortion is an op-amp, hard clipping distortion
built around the classic 1970s topology seen in pedals like
the MXR Distortion Plus, the DOD 250, and the Proco RAT.
While this pedal can be used in almost any situation, it excels
at creating natural tube-like distortion and pushing your
amplier into natural breakup.
CONTROLS
“Level” controls volume (right is louder, left is quieter).
“Distort” controls the amount of hard-clipping distortion
(right is more distorted, left is less distorted). The side switch
allows the player to toggle between two versions of the
circuit produced during its fteen-year history: Germanium
mode (“Era 2”version) and Silicon mode (“Era 3”version). The
footswitch activates the pedal via soft touch bypass
switching. The status LED indicates the circuit is active.
JACKS
The ¼” input and output jacks connect to your guitar and
amplier. The power jack accepts standard 9V DC Negative
Center power and consumes 40mA.
