I buy and sell pedals all the time and I just stumbled upon a really good one. Anybody have any experience with a ross distortion? I have the black box version right now. They came with the jrc4558 op amp chip in them. I'm more impressed with this thing than I was when i got my analogman od-9's. just curious if anybody else has tried them. Dead quiet when you stop playing no matter how high the level or distortion.

Is it a distortion or overdrive pedal?

Perfectley silent when I was playing through just that pedal into my blackface champ in the kitchen. i threw it on my pedal board after my ts9 silver mod and my bicomp and I was hearing the the noise from those pedals being on amplified. It has a great range though. Anywhere from clean boost to overdrive to distortion can be had. I think these were ross' annswer to the tubescreamers, distortion+, dod 250's. It is definetly going to take the place of my sd9 clone on my board. I recommend trying one.
