ok..so...they're not tuck n rolled...but given the name..thought it might be fair to bring em up on this site...I've been using original Japanese Boss pedals for years...required in my tone chain is the Boss compressor/sustainer pedal..it allows me to do things that I want....but it certainly is obvious when I'm on it... I've never had the pleasure of trying the Ross unit...but reading the reviews, etc... I'm thinking I best be on the lookout for one..so I cruise ebay and ouch!..the prices are up there and there is solid interest across all the Ross pedals...first question...do any of you have/use any of the Ross pedals...your opinions highly valued..second..if I decided to open my own bench shop and make some same-circuit units..do you think there is a market, or have the big companies soaked it all up?
more important...I'd like to see some info on all the pedals that were available.. I've only seen the stuff that surfaces on ebay...compressor, overdrive, phase shift?...I've got some great ideas for some individual pedals and even a zodiac pedal board!!!...ET

I've heard good things about the Keeley compressor, which is a Ross clone that looks like it's very nicely manufactured using high quality parts. Seems like a really nice guy, too.
It's not super cheap at $185 ($219 with blue LED and DC adapter jack) but it looks very well made.

hey thanks. I'll check out the site! but yer right...that's a tad pricey for a single pedal in these days of multi everything deals....but if there's a market then my point is made...

ok...love his web site...and the pedal looks great...I appreciate his faithfulness to Kustom/Ross by using the old kustom style knobs..and I think I'm seeing his pilot light is jeweled...way ta go!...will have to save my toy money up for this one, cause it does have that hand made USA price tag...that's ok though...sounds like it'll be worth it...so much for my business venture..just glad somebody's on the ball..ET

I have one of the distortion pedals....and I like it....but what do I know I am a bass player! I think Pleat uses some of the Ross gear....and I know he gets some good sounds.........check with him. BC
