I don't know if this one belongs here or at the Modern stompbox corner since I don't know the exact year these came out, but here it goes....

It looks to me like an 80's PCB...

The ross or dynacomp don't have 10 transistors... It's not a simple clone... :)

yeah it's a ross comp with some different values, and a few of the transistors are fets for the bypass switch.

These are the same as the black Electra compressors too I believe.

Thanks for the images. I’m about to restore one of these pedals and these images are really helpful.

Got the Washburn variation....
And had the Ibanez CP-835 as well.
It is the old MXR compressor basicly.
It is the same company that made them all....
Guyatone, Locobox, Washburn, Ibanez, Coron, Memphis and so on...
Nisshin Onpa with the nice big umbrella, if I am not mistaken.
Will take some gutshots soon!

Just checking to see if there's any movement on this? :scratch:
