Why the Dyna Comp is Legendary: Since its introduction in 1972, the MXR Dyna Comp has been the go-to compressor for countless professional guitarists. Its simple two-knob interface belies its powerful tone-shaping capabilities. The Dyna Comp doesn't just compress—it adds a musical quality to your tone that has become synonymous with professional guitar sound.

How It Works: The Sensitivity knob controls how much compression is applied to your signal, while the Output knob sets the overall volume. Turn up the Sensitivity for more compression and sustain, or dial it back for subtle dynamic control. The Output knob lets you match your compressed signal to your bypassed tone or boost it for solos.

Classic Applications: Country players use it for that signature compressed twang and chicken pickin' attack. Rock guitarists rely on it for singing lead tones with endless sustain. Funk players appreciate how it tightens rhythm parts and makes every note pop. Studio musicians use it to ensure consistent levels for recording. The Dyna Comp has been heard on countless hit records across every genre.

Power Options: This pedal requires 9 volts and can be powered by a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter or an MXR Brick Series power supply.
