Title: Ross Compressor (tonepad layout)
Post by: irmcdermott on March 05, 2011, 06:14:49 AM
Not a 'bean project, but thought I'd post anyway. Built this for my buddy Nash (hence the name) using the tonepad layout. After a few bad pots, I got it working and boy oh boy is this a nice compressor. Going to have to build one for myself now. Just thought I'd share. All colors were chosen by my friend and I learned one thing during this build.... I hate working with white paint :) Sorry for the kind of blurry pictures. Didn't realize it until I uploaded, which of course was after I shipped it. Doh!

red/white/blue... very patriotic :)

when he told me those colors I was half tempted to throw a huge American flag or bald eagle on there and name it some over-the-top/obnoxious name.

BTW, I'm American, and love America, but also have a sense of humor :)

compressor for a guy named Nash w/ red, white, and blue color scheme?

I'd have called it...Nash-ville!  8)

Very nice! The tonepad board does make a very nice compressor. Here is the one I currently have on my board.

The only place in Tennesse i've been to is Chattanooga, TN cause I have a buddy from there. I got this weird impression that that place is frowned upon..strange.

The impression that Chattanooga is frowned upon? Or Nashville?

I think both places are pretty great.

just Chattanooga. It's very possible its just that i knew the wrong group of people. That date was a fun show on our tour none the less. Next time i'm there i hope to spend more time and do some eating! :)
