  • The mxr dyna comp compressor pedal is soooo good! I love this pedal and have never taken it off my pedal board. I am sure there are better ones but as far as a good cheap compressor pedal, this may be the best. With any pedal board, a guitar compressor pedal is essential and I hope this dyna comp review video helps you decide what to buy.

      Sorry but this pedal belongs in a professional set of mxr pedals.
      Could you imagine a 2022 carpenter going to work with just 1 hammer?
      Are you going to be a professional with just 1 pedal?

    At 4:05, the guitar begins to push into a Larry Carlton 335 feel. Great video, great demo and explanation of the yummy aspects of compression. My Dynacomp was the spank I needed to get closer to the sound I was pretending to play.

  • @nurk_barry
    @nurk_barry 3 роки тому +14

    Excellent video, this is the first pedal on my board and I use it like you do m, for subtle sustain/compression as well as to feed more gain into my OD and Distortion and to get that “fake” sound you mentioned as “midi” sounding. It’s a great subtle effect that rarely gets talked about too much. Used by a lot of country guys, but can be great for other styles too.
    You can even use this as a clean boost by turning the compression all the way down.

    • @DevanBishop

    Great video! I appreciate the thorough explanation of this pedal. I was on the fence but I have now decided this is a pedal that I can live without. Unlike many of the comments here, I will not sing the praises of this pedal. I think it works well enough, but I feel as if it does not do enough to justify the expense (or space on my board). Pedals, for every guitarists, evetually end up on a wall or as part of a collection of unused; that is the reality. Guitar pedals can get pricey and I think the money spent on this pedal would be better spent going towards another pedal. I'm in the process of buying a Strymon Deco and this is a pretty expensive pedal, so the $40 Amazon is asking for this pedal, should definitely go towards that. For me, I think I need to eventually get realistic in terms of affordability versus my actual needs. Still a great video because it allowed me to save my money and put it towards what I really need.

    • @LiamShannon88
      @LiamShannon88 3 роки тому +1

      This pedal is adding gain to your high gain signal. Any high gain situation is going to bring up (amplify) the noise floor, especially on single coil pickups. You can try backing off some of the gain in either this pedal (output knob) or on your other drive pedals. You can also try backing off the sensitivity so the compressor ignores the base line noise. Other options are to reduce your noise floor by isolating power, using a guitar with humbucker pickups, or running your signal through a noise gate (last resort option as it can sound quite horrible if applied too harshly). Reading up on how compression works will help you make the best decisions for your rig.

    Picked one of these up at a garage sale recently (it looks to be ancient). Its either so subtle that you wouldn't really notice it.. or its outrageously OTT.
    Not much in the middle. I feel like its missing a third pot to adjust the attack. I say this because if you want distortion and sustain, just use a drive pedal. If you want compression on your cleans/amp overdrive then you NEED to control the attack or its not versatile enough imho.
