Title: Just discovered a sweet ross clone pedal!!!
Post by: IamWILSON on August 01, 2011, 09:09:59 PM
Last night after I managed to by a grey Ross pedal on Ebay while I was doing some sleepless web surfing and found this youtube video too.

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to the "Silver Myth."

It sounds identical to the Ross, at least to my ears - but I can't speak for the internet quality of the stream degrading the sound quality and making it difficult to differentiate. 

So I did some research and this is the only website I can find that speaks anything of it, of course it's under the same name as the youtube video.

Here's the problem... Can any of you read Japanese?  I'm pretty sure I really wanna get one of these pedals, but when I did the Yen conversion to US dollars it was $478.12.  That seems like a steep price, but if they are building a very faithful version of the American made Ross Compressor, and its brand new, it might be worth it.  Or maybe that's a retail price and it is actually cheaper.

Also, there's a black pedal on the website and youtube video w/ side by side comparison to the Klon Centaur.  The pedal is called the Scylla II, but is even more expensive!  Soooo many Yen, so little time!
