So, with MXR having joined the new wave of ‘blend knob’ compressors, once I decided to revisit the squishy-squashy world of compression it was natural that I would start with the MXR Dyna Comp Deluxe. Having used various compressors since the 70s, MXR is well made and the mini pedal does not disappoint. While the Dyna Comp M-102 isn't hand-wired and doesn't feature the old CA3080 chip, the sound is so close that you can hear a unified sound over the Dyna Comp's decades. The MXR Dyna Comp is not considered tone-neutral; that is, it adds its specific coloring to the sound, [5] which is appreciated by many users.

The Script Dyna Comp Compressor combines classic MXR compression with a bypass status LED and AC power jack for modern gigging convenience. Sensitivity controls the compression, so the higher the sensitivity is set, the more compression you are adding to the signal. If I had a bunch of other compression controls available (attack etc) then I'd only spend all my time tweaking instead of actually playing my damn guitar. Overdrive is literally what you get when a tube is pushed beyond its voltage limits causing a clip in the top of the waveforms resulting in a slight warm, fat and sometimes, sizzly tone. The MXR Dyna Comp Deluxe is a new, upgraded version of the hugely popular Dyna Comp compressor pedal.

During the ’70s, country guitarists embraced the Dyna Comp because its fast attack accentuates the pluck and cluck of chicken pickin’ licks, and its long release adds body to sustained notes in pedal steel bends. Familiar Output and Sensitivity controls set volume level and the length of sustain, while the Attack switch toggles between a vintage style slow attack time and a modern style fast attack time. With the Dyna Comp Deluxe, you get the same great compression sound that’s been a gigging guitarist staple for years but with new features that let you really tailor your output to perfection. The answer, crank up the tone control on the compressor and I’m pretty much back to where I was without it.

Using an unsecured network in a public place can be risky as unauthorised people may try to intercept anything you're doing online. David Byrne often used a Dyna Comp at extremely compressed settings for his rhythmic and melodic lines with Talking Heads, with the effect being particularly notable during the outro of Drugs. If you need your item delivered on a specific day, you can leave a comment in the box at the checkout and we'll take it from there. Now knowing the effect it has to the tone i couldn't be more pleased, i have it right next to my guitar in the pedal chain and sometimes the Dyna comp is the only thing needed to get some amazing tones out of a Vox AC-15. We will be using a Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Victory Countess V30 MKII with the Dyna Comp running through the front of the amp.I mostly use it for bluesy situations with my PRS and I really love how easy it is to achieve that chicken-picking sound with only a few buttons. The Dyna Comp’s relatively simple circuit employs Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) compression, which provides a fast attack and relatively slow decay and release that works particularly well for many guitar playing styles. This makes the pedal ideal for country lead lines, and makes it a killer weapon for funk playing anywhere on the neck. It has new features that alleviate most of the problems associated with using compression in your chain, principally loss of playing dynamics. One of the most popular compressors of all time, The dyna Comp is the secret weapon on many Stars' Pedalboards.

The Dyna Comp’s circuit also rolls off some of the high harmonics and bass, delivering a perceived midrange boost.

Great lead boost into a slightly dirty amp, the extra sustain allows you to play with a little less gain when using a strat and the midrange presence lift really helps cut a mic.
