Buildyourownclone.com (http://buildyourownclone.com) has introduced a new "Classic Compressor" kit based upon the very popular vintage Ross "Gray" compressor circuit. Their top-of-the-line 5-Knob Compressor kit, also derived from the Ross circuit, will still be available, but the new kit will appeal to builders looking for a pedal that's simpler to build and less complicated to operate, while still offering that classic Ross "squish". The new kit will sell for a very reasonable $70, making it one of BYOC's most affordable kits.
You can also buy a "vintage upgrade pack" for the kit, sold separately for $15. This pack features a CA3080A "can-style" opamp like those used in the original Dynacomps, a gold-plated TO-100 8-pin socket, and five 2SC1849 transistors like those used in the Dynacomps, Ross Gray's and early Keeley compressors. So if you're looking to build the ultimate vintage-correct Ross compressor clone, you'll definitely want to consider spending the extra $15 for this upgrade.
