The 5 Knob Compressor is a clone of the Ross Gray Compressor with some added modifications. It features a Ratio knob for parallel compression, allowing you to blend in compressed and dry signals. The Tone knob is unique as it adjusts a pre-existing high-pass filter in the circuit, giving you control over the tone without adding a separate tone stack. The Ratio control is transistor-based, maintaining the original circuit’s theme and tone. The pedal is designed to accept the BA6110 chip, which offers longer sustain, more squish, higher output, and a transparent tone with less noise compared to the traditional CA3080 chip. The pedal is also true bypass, making it versatile and giving it a hi-fi studio polish.
