Well....that is one old compressor...and what a nice sound it has after it got a small check up....one of the caps was gone....but for a 41 year old thing...that is ok I guess...

Very nice! I love those old compressors. Much more of an 'effect' than modern ones.Administrator of the SDUGFComment

Hahaha and blend...and a VU meter...plus midi and a combined tea and coffee machine too 
Anyways this baby is sweetsounding, works great with your guitars volume, not much else besides other equally old comps has that particular soft round tone...very pleasent, got a Guyatone Driving compressor as well here at home....love those old boxes for guitar...pure and simple stuff...
And both are quiet as mouses when set in non extreme ways....Comment

I have a Danelectro Surf & Turf Compressor which is supposed to be a clone of the Ross (not verified by me). But it does sound great- round and squishy, and it sounds great at all settings. It is great on acoustic, too.Administrator of the SDUGFComment

Re: Got this old thing in for a checkup...
I don't remember the year, but I have a MIJ CS-3 that sounds amazing. I really wish they'd changed the model number with the VCA change in the early 90s; the older MIJ version is a totally different pedal. I suppose the upside is that you can still find the MIJ version for cheap because of the new one's rather lackluster reputation.
Edit: Now that I think of it, the same is also true of MIJ DD-3s. People have caught on to DD-2s and they're not the bargain they used to be. I can still find MIJ DD-3s for < $100 and it's the same pedal.
