Chasing that legendary Ross Dynacomp or MXR Dyna Comp squash? The originals are vintage gold—iconic sustain, snappy attack, and that addictive "pop" on Tele twang, funk slaps, or chicken pickin'—but good luck finding a clean one without dropping big bucks or dealing with noisy old units.
Enter the Aurora Compressor/Sustainer: a dead-on part-for-part clone of the Ross Compressor (the upgraded Dyna Comp fave) built with carefully selected, high-quality modern components for reliability, lower noise, and killer tone today.
This nails the classic OTA squash that made the Dyna/Ross series legendary for over 40+ years: endless sustain, punchy dynamics, and that signature compressed sparkle without killing your transients. Works phenomenally on guitar (Tele snap, Strat chime, always-on glue) and bass (tight low-end control, slap/pop enhancement, fingerstyle sustain).
Why this build levels up the classic:
- LM13700 OTA (modern replacement for the obsolete/hard-to-find CA3080) — easier sourcing, same vibe, zero compromises.
- Improved power filtering for drastically lower noise compared to vintage units (Ross-style upgrades taken further).
- Reduced ripple in the output stage for cleaner, less "distortion-like" compression artifacts.
- Selected high-quality parts throughout—no cheap shortcuts for pro-grade performance and longevity.
- Sturdy metal enclosure with a reliable, high-quality stomp switch—gig-ready and built to last.
- True bypass, standard 9V power—slots perfectly on any board.
- Classic controls: Sustain (compression ratio/intensity) + Output (makeup gain/boost)—simple, effective, and dialable from subtle leveling to full-on squash.
No hunting rare vintage Ross pedals. No paying boutique prices for "Dyna-style" boxes. Just authentic Ross/Dyna Comp magic—cleaned up, modernized, and ready to slap on your board right now.
Full project details, schematics, and history:
DM for bass/guitar demos, sound clips (chicken pickin', funk, country twang, etc.), knob settings that crush, or questions. Built tough, sounds timeless—your compression upgrade is locked and loaded.
Grab it before it's gone. Let that sustain sing. 🔥🎸
NOTE: This pedal was handbuilt by me using the PCBs sold by AION FX. All parts are very built with high quality components, potentiometers, foot switch and enclosure.
