Description

This analog CA3080E type compressor is based on the Grey Ross, a popular compressor that is still highly sought after and used by countless professionals. With the pedal long out of production the original units are now a collector's item, they are hard to find and command high prices. The GoudieFX compressor features true bypass switching and enhancements for audio clarity and much less noise than the stock pedal. The GoudieFX compressor contains 1% metal film resistors for better accuracy and less noise than 5% carbon comps used in the original. High quality audio-grade polyester metallized film capacitors are used instead of cheapie ceramic discs, I have tried various types and manufacturers of capacitors in the compressor and found these to be the most musical. This tone tool will make your guitar and amplifier sound the best they can delivering warm, sparkling cleans and smooth overdrive/distortion tones. I hand match the transistors in the gain portion of the circuit to 1% or less. This is an accurate reproduction of the original Grey Ross with component upgrades across the board. If you want maximum boutique quality tone without all the frills and the high price tag then this is the compressor for you.

The GoudieFX compressor will bring clarity to individual notes and control the attack when strumming or playing aggressively for consistent and uniform signal. You'll notice leads will punch through the mix better in live situations, especially on higher strings. Listen to the audio samples below to get an idea of the sound you'll get from the pedal.

The aluminum enclosure is tooled, painted and silk screened by a metal fabrication shop for a professional finished look.
