MXR M102 Dyna Comp Compressor Pedal

The MXR Dyna Comp is a compressor pedal designed for guitar players.
It's a signal limiting processor, which varies its gain so the output signal that you set remains constant. This compression circuit is coupled with a sensitivity control. This combination of controls made the Dyna Comp one of the most popular guitar compressors ever. For overdrive or clean sounds, you get increased sustain and superb tone.

MXR M102 Dyna Comp Compressor Pedal Features
  • Output & sensitivity foot control knobs
  • LED on/off indicator
  • Powered by the Dunlop ECB-02 AC Adapter and/or 9 volt battery
The MXR Dyna Comp is a compressor that allows you to set an output level and the sensitivity at which it kicks in. This device can produce that percussive, clicky sound on a clean guitar - the mainstay of 80s pop players - or a mellow sustain for lead work. The M-102 is designed to capture the sound and performance of the originals which it does with an authentic vintage flavor. Rack spotters may have noticed several Dyna Comps in Dave Gilmour's monster system.

Subject:Great little compressor for the price!
Quality: Built like a tank, solid, well built. If you're not familiar with MXR pedals the battery access requires removing the back plate through four screws. Suggest running off pedal power instead, uses a Boss-style 9v power plug.
Reliability: I've had it a few weeks. Leave it on most the time. Works like it should.
Overall: A great little compressor at $55, not so hot if it is the same price as the next level up MXR compressor which features an external attack knob. The Dynacomp features and internal attack trim pot (see above, requires back plate access), which is somewhat of a chore if you need to adjust the compressor. Great for a $55 compressor!
Playability and Feel: Works great, does not pass any uncompressed signal through so you may get a pop or a click when playing after silence. This is a side effect of compression and not the products fault but could be aleviated by either passing some uncompressed signal (not ideal) or adjusting the attack rate to minimze the pop.
Tone: It is a compressor. Will raise the existing noise floor in a system if there is noise already present, but it does not appear to color the tone.
Finish: Looks good.
Action: Good solid click on the pedal.
Skill Level: Intermediate
