MXR Dyna Comp: Old School Compression

There are gazillions of compressors available today. Many can do all kinds of amazing things. These are facts. But… there was a time when the choices were far fewer. When it comes to compression, the MXR Dyna Comp still stands tall as one of the greatest compressors of all time.

Although the feature set is a bit limited, quite often, guitarists don’t need a billion knobs and dials. When you need a floor-based compressor that simply does the job, this little jobbie is awesome. Somehow, MXR knew just how to teak this little baby right outta the box so that it is ready for just about anything. So many country players back in the day were usin’ this pedal that it nearly defined the genre. If your compression needs are minimal and you are looking for a more vintage thing, this is the one to get.
