Got mine the other day, and so glad I did! It's done so much for my sound and the sustain is awesome. People complain it's a tone sucker but I've not had any problems. Sure it's got it's own sound when you engage it but find the settings you like and you really can't go wrong. Never thought I needed a compressor, until I owned one!
Hey......always like Don's demos.....informative and classy without any unnecessary and time-consuming shredding! I appreciate the "Beginnings" coda progression in this demo!
Great review man👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I particularly find this Dyna Comp unbeatable and unsurpassed. The best tone you can get from a compressor pedal certainly comes from Dyna Comp.
Hi, kimsalas6890! Thanks for your message, hope you’re well and safe. The Sensitivity control alters the ratio of compression, it is not fixed. The pedal does however have fixed attack and release time. The former at 5 milliseconds, the latter at 1 second. Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them!

It would be nice to hear more of the sustaining aspect with a couple different guitars, basses, how it interacts with and augments other pedals (echoes, mods) and amp gain settings as opposed to the ubiquitous country-lead histrionics.
Hello James, and thanks for your question. Hope you're safe and well. There are several places to position a compressor pedal depending on your gear and what your intended use is for the effect. Do you want boost? Do you want sustain? Do you want to limit output? Could be first in line, could be after gain pedals, could be in your effects loop. I apologize for not being more specific, unfortunately I don't have enough information to give an answer based on your situation. Please contact me direct so we can discuss a solution for your rig.

Sweetwater Thank you for your response. I’ve been pretty happy with my pedal rig without it, but I was sold on getting one to compress my signal. I really haven’t been happy with it for that purpose, but I would like to learn how to use it for sustain.
Lincoln Karen The dyna comp is true bypass. That means the pedal let's your guitar bypass the pedal unaffected - basically making your guitar cable longer. The longer the cable, the more treble frequencies get sucked out though. BOSS pedals have a buffered bypass to fix this problem, but their buffers tend to be a little noisy and the guitar tone not to refined. BOSS pedals aren't bad, but a dedicated buffer will get the job done better.
I love this pedal, but, people are having the exact same as me... and I'm finding out that there are hundreds of people out there if not thousands having the same problem of noise, a almost wind like noise, not from high gain but simply turning the pedal on and trying to get any compression! I've sprayed the insides etc and still this noise!
itriedmany Compressors, by definition, compress your signal. It quiets down the loud sounds, and to compensate, you have to raise the volume, therefore increasing the volume of ANY sound coming through your rig. Compressors rarely add their own noise, they simply raise the pre-existing noise of your rig.

This is my "leave it on all the time" pedal. As always, Don does a great job of demoing the pedal, and does some tasty licks in the process.

I wss given a '76 Dyna Comp by a friend some years ago. It's been the one constant on my board since. Love it. Love your '87 Strat Don!
Thanks for the meaningful demo. Most demos are garbage, you've done a fine job here getting to the point.
Don's demos are always cool to watch.
This was used in the intro to under the bridge. By RHCP I never do that till recently and you can definitely hear it

You went from Chet Atkins to David Gilmour back to Vince Gill in 6 minutes!!!! Lol, just an awesome demo, they aren't paying you enough.
How much are they paying him?
Not sure why but I feel I need this
I love this comp. Can I know what the fixed ratio is?

Boss compressor I have used have been unholy noisy but I got this the other day and it’s not noisy at all it also has a nice sound and feel
Is that an overwound bridge pickup?
Moment of truth 4:34
Francesc Borrull i was literally waiting for so long for him to change the pickup
That sound is why I bought the pedal
1:58 -> 2:00
2:26
Great job
The demonic master of all Hell forbidden facial expressions! Just kidding. Love Don...

where should this be in my pedalboards signal chain?

Sweetwater Right now I have Morley volume/wah as first in line, and then it goes into my dynacomp, and then into my tube screamer.
is it noisy ? i want this pedal i just hope its more quiet than a boss comp pedal..thanks for your time
MXR Super Comp is better......only $10 more.
thanks
Lincoln Karen sure.
Lincoln Karen You're right! Boss compression pedal is REALLY noisy. I

Great demo and I love the guitar but swap out those string trees! I still dont know what fender Japan was thinking by putting those on.

Don Carr can sell me anything.
My MXR Dyna Comp Compressor Pedal cuts out and squelches out at the worst times..stage, recording etc...anyone know why?
tia,
David
It's broken.
100 % Brent Mason sound
I am wondering how this compares to the BOSS CS-3 ...
it lasts and way better only if you have one from 80,s its great new bosss not so good.old pedals lasted me 25 to 30 years ive played since 12 now 45
#Doncarrforpresident
es como una vieja expolola de los 70s... una expolola pero que toca con compresor..
Weird Al at it again
Para ser una señora toca muy bien xD
Stop Notion jajaj que pendex
I like your hair (not a Gay thing), reminds me of an EX- who stole my guitar and dog...!!
Why did you have to state that it's not a gay thing? Just say you like his hair. lmao
Eric-Miles it’s code because it is a gay thing
@@eric-miles4025 I’m not gunna lie, reading that made me laugh out loud so I’m glad he snuck it in there 😂😂
Still way too thin. Didn't fatten up the clean tone very much at all. Not for me.
laba, laba laba , Thema verfehlt. Noch nichts von Rocksounds gehört ?????????
