Analog Man Bi-CompROSSor Manual

BASIC INFORMATION:

JACKS:

Right is input, left output. Battery is disconnected when input cord removed. Always remove
input cord (if using battery) when not being used, as battery will drain even when LEDs are off.

POWER

: 9V internal battery or 9V DC (NOT AC!!) adaptor. A 9V AC adaptor as used by Line6,
Foxrox, etc will destroy our pedal so be careful! Boss PSA, or other 9VDC effects adaptors will work
fine. Voodoo labs or other high quality power supplies are recommended for best sound and least
noise, OS needs a quality adaptor to minimize noise. The effect draws under 10mA when both effects
are ON and just under 4 mA when both LEDs are off. A battery will last over 40 hours with both
effects ON. Center of power plug is NEGATIVE on the normal boss style adaptors.

COMPROSSOR information:

to make the sustain more solid and less wavering and seasick sounding. The compROSSor has more
sustain and a cleaner sound than the juicer. The CompROSSor uses NOS (new old stock) 2SC1849
Matsushita transistors which were used in the original ROSS compressor and early script logo MXR
dynacomps. We use higher quality capacitors than the original, for improved sound. The circuit board
is double-sided with GROUND PLANES everywhere possible to minimize noise. This is important as
any compressor amplifies ambient noise when you play lightly or stop playing, as they go to maximum
gain. Any noise from your pickups will be brought up when you stop playing, so if you need complete
silence it is best to turn off the compressor(s) when you stop. The COMPROSSOR features below do
not function when ONLY the JUICER is turned on.

SUSTAIN KNOB

The higher it is set, the louder the volume will be swelled and the more the attack will be compressed.
Starting in 2003, we are using a special taper pot for the sustain knob, so the knob position can be set
the same as on an original Ross or Dynacomp to get the same amount of sustain as an original.

ROSS VOLUME KNOB:

an amp further into distortion. Volume is also increased if SUSTAIN or ATTACK knob are higher.
This product is actually two effects pedals in one. The left
side is based on an improved version of the Ross
compressor (compROSSor) and the right side the Dan
Armstrong Orange Squeezer (Juicer). Each is independent
and can be used separately or together. The order of the
pedals, if used together, is Juicer first. Here are the basic
specifications:
1. True Bypass on both effects
2. Two 3PDT stomp switches, right for JUICER and
3. Two LEDs: YELLOW for the Juicer and RED for
4. Power adaptor jack (Boss style, 9V DC not AC!)
5. CompROSSor ATTACK (ATK) knob on left, then
This is quite similar to an MXR dynacomp but improved
: Turning up the SUSTAIN knob sets the amount of sustain and compression.
Set the volume, can be used to boost the signal somewhat to drive
