  • In today's video, I'm diving into why I like the MXR Dynacomp. This classic compressor pedal is popular for many reasons - from its tight control to that iconic sustain, it's a must-have on any pedalboard.
    I'll break down some of its features and share what I like about this pedal as it pertains to my playing and my interests.

    I used to have an original one of these - I used it for recording vocals - SM58 with pop shield through an MXR noise gate/line driver (noise gate at zero) to boost signal into a Dynacomp (both knobs set at 12 o'clock) From a whisper to a scream it recorded vocals with perfect clarity in any mix. Outstanding piece of kit 😊

      That’s quite a setup, would be interesting to try. Why did you get rid of it though? Seems like it would be a collectors item.

      ​@@andrewsiemon we all imagine ourselves to be upgrading with every dollar spent. Sometimes, it's even true.

    M5 is the baby version of the m9 & m13. The latter is imho the final boss of the budget effects setups. You simply cannot do more enough than an M13 for the money.

      Right on. I like the M5 quite a bit. It does a lot.

      Another guy said it was noisy too but I haven't noticed that.

    too noisy, Kelley 4 knobs is much better

      I don't find it noisy, but maybe I'm missing something. I've heard of Keeley many times now, but I've never tried their stuff. I might have to get one.
      I'm looking at the Keeley K4COMP 4 Knob Compressor and it certainly looks cool. The design is slick.
