Jim Dunlop MXR Dyna Comp Pedal

Product Information

Yes but don't prioritize it over ex Amps and the most basic effect pedals - of course i'd choose my delay pedal over the dynacomp and that's not strange.

The new M-102 features an LED light, true-bypass technology, and the same output and sensitivity knobs that made the original so intuitive. Actually the pedal operates more like a limiter than a true compressor as it mediates volume differences between notes to provide more consistent note-to-note output primarily by reducing the gain of attack transients, although it also amplifies weak signals slightly to improve sustain. Though I used to run a compressor early in my chain, I now like it towards the end because I have some nice fancy ‘touch-sensitive’ overdrive pedals and I want them to respond to my playing dynamics before the signal gets compressed.

He is a 40-year music industry veteran who started at Boardwalk Entertainment (Joan Jett, Night Ranger) and Roland US before becoming a guitar journalist in 1991. The point i'm trying to express is that the dynacomp "boosts" the overall tone and for it to boost the tone you need to have a tone.

While it packs a lot into such a small box, for those needing much greater control you may need to look at another model.This pedal can be powered by a 9-volt battery, a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the DC Brick™, Iso-Brick™, and Mini Iso-Brick™ power supplies (not included). By turning the Tone control, you can really fine your compressed signal to add that extra bit of polish to your sound.
