Since the 1970s Charles "Bud" Ross built a whole range of effect pedals. The pedals' trademark was the same, extremely rugged enclosure each time, with a different finish depending on the effect type and a simple control layout that was limited to the two most important controls for that effect. Ross Pedals had then, as now, a large following and the manufacturer's vintage pedals are nowadays traded at sometimes astronomical prices.
Lovers of the Ross Pedals brand can now breathe a sigh of relief: Josh Scott of JHS Pedals, a pedal genius and avowed fan of the old Ross effects, has revived the brand. The classics among the Ross pedals, such as Compressor, Distortion, Phaser and Chorus, are of course back in the range, as is a new vintage-style creation: the Ross Fuzz. Fans of the brand are no longer forced to buy a vintage pedal at exorbitant prices, but for the first time in a long while can once again purchase brand-new Ross effects.
