FAQ on the project:

Q. How to set the trimpot?

A. Set the trimpot in the middle, slowly turn it to both sides while letting single notes ring. Leave it in a position where the decay doesn't sound gated.

Uses the same PCB layout as the MXR Dynacomp. Compared to the Dyna, the Ross offers similar attack characteristics, but with a noticeable reduction of high-end frequencies that is not displayed by the Dyna. Choose one or the other depending on whether or not that's your bag.

Current draw (no led): ~1.6mA
