Ross™ Distortion

The Ross Distortion pedal is very similar to the MXR Distortion Plus pedal. This project uses the same Ready-For-Transfer Printed Circuit Board Layout file that is used in the Distortion Plus Project on this site. This is really a great sounding. Using the 741 IC is essential to the great sound.
