Small box, Big effect
Hebb 26.04.2021
A compressor isn't the first pedal you'd think of or look for when buying more pedals. I can only talk from my own experience and that was exactly what i was thinking.

For that "large" (compared to size and features) amount of money you could get a relatively good distortion pedal or almost a delay pedal. And i fell for that trap multiple times and I underestimated the affect a comp-pedal can bring.

Now knowing the effect it has to the tone i couldn't be more pleased, i have it right next to my guitar in the pedal chain and sometimes the Dyna comp is the only thing needed to get some amazing tones out of a Vox AC-15. I usually have the sens around 9 o'clock and then the output relatively low (to allow my amp to be cranked up). And it's a dramatic difference between having it turned on and off.

There is only one word to describe the tone when turned on - Smooth.
So should you buy it? Yes but don't prioritize it over ex Amps and the most basic effect pedals - of course i'd choose my delay pedal over the dynacomp and that's not strange.

The point i'm trying to express is that the dynacomp "boosts" the overall tone and for it to boost the tone you need to have a tone.
So if you want to advance your sound quality, then this little red thing is for you - solid and characteristic!

great compressor
thibze 31.07.2019
I've been playing with this comp for roughly 6 years with mostly strats and jaguars (reggae, groove and post-rock)

This pedal brings an amazing percussive sound and warm sounding compression overall

On the other hand, the noise brought by this comp is LOUD - I strongly recommend the use of a well tuned noise gate for any clean recording of subtle solos.

I love to play this comp along with overdrive or distortion pedals (i.e Fulltone's OCD)

Simple and amazing
BillyRaf 30.09.2020
Killer sound for both guitar and bass. I mostly use it for bluesy situations with my PRS and I really love how easy it is to achieve that chicken-picking sound with only a few buttons. Love and definitely recommend it!

Got that item for a pink floyd tribute.. you can get very close to gilmours sound. The pedal is sounding great even with no mods.

Wat een topper
BasVanDalen 10.08.2022
Met deze compressor voor mijn Gretsch basgitaar ben ik afgegaan op de betrouwbaarheid (dit is al jaren een topper), de eenvoud en de recensies.

En ik heb er geen spijt van: wat een fijne compressor. Geen knop teveel maar hij doet erg goed wat hij moet doen. Het geluid is echt super; de sustain is top en de compressie ook helemaal prima.

En dat voor zo'n prijs: ik zeg, doen.

Does one thing, but does it really well.
G.A. 15.10.2022
Dynacomp is an extremely simple-to-use compressor pedal. That does one thing and does it really well with its extremely characteristic compression ratio, attack and release times. As with many compressors, it mostly changes the transients of your tone rather than the actual sound (of course you can also use it as a boost with the compression sensitivity knob turned to zero). Compression and general transient control are definitely something you should experiment with, and this is a good starting point.

Classic!
JoshuaTree 03.01.2018
This is a true classic. Clear tone with crispiness.
Built like a tank, been using it for years and never had any problems. Goes well with any power supply I tried.
One of the best compressors out there.
