The SahBro Audio Ross Kempressor is a faithful recreation of the legendary Ross Compressor, the 1970s circuit revered for its smooth, warm, musical compression that became the basis for countless modern compressors. It delivers gentle, transparent leveling with added sustain and a subtle warmth, favored by country, funk, and clean players wanting the classic Ross squash.
