Original vintage Ross Distortion in the classic tan enclosure - an original 1970s Ross, made in Chanute, Kansas, USA. This is NOT the modern JHS-era reissue.Ross pedals from this era have a well-earned reputation, and the Distortion is one of the great overlooked dirt boxes of the period. It is an op-amp hard clipper from the same 1970s family tree as the MXR Distortion+, the DOD 250 and the ProCo RAT, but voiced with its own character - smoother and rounder than a RAT, with a slightly mid-forward push that sits a guitar right on top of a band mix without ever getting brittle.Two knobs and nothing in the way:- DISTORT sets the amount of clipping, from a light gritty edge-of-breakup to a thick saturated distortion- LEVEL sets the output, with plenty on tap to slam the front end of an amp- IN, OUT and PWR jacks- Heavy folded-steel enclosure in the classic Ross tan finishCleans up nicely with your guitar volume, and it stacks beautifully in front of an already-driven amp.CONDITION: Very Good. Fully functional and works exactly as it should. Honest cosmetic wear consistent with a pedal approaching fifty years old - see the photo, which shows the actual unit you will receive.SOLD AS-IS. No returns accepted. No box and no manual are included - what you see in the photos is exactly what ships. No power supply or cables included.Ships fast and packed carefully.
