An Ode to Classic Circuitry
Building on the classic 1970s op-amp hard clipper architecture, the ROSS Distortion aligns itself with distinguished predecessors such as the MXR Distortion Plus and the BOSS DS-1. It’s specifically tailored for those seeking genuine amp-like overdrive distortion and the capability to nudge an amplifier towards its natural breakup threshold.
The ROSS Distortion offers precise and intuitive control over its sound. The “Level” knob allows for quick volume adjustments, and the “Distort” dial lets players choose the degree of hard-clipping distortion. The side push switch provides a choice between two distinct circuit versions: the warmer Germanium mode (based on the Era 2 version) and the crisp Silicon mode (based on the Era 3 version). The soft-touch footswitch ensures easy activation whilst the clear LED indicator displays the circuit’s status.
