Wrong David. Or The guitarist world has sunk to a new low. 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? You're a gossip David. Stop gossiping David.
@@dreyn7780 Sorry what!? I get a notification from a weirdo who's replying to a comment i made a year ago just complimenting the creator of the video. Of course there's someone like you to come and take offense from my completely kind comment. Keep hating on random people...see where it gets you. Please dont reply, it's pointless. I don't know what the fuck one compliment has to do with gossip??? like what the hell. I have a pedalboard full of fantastic pedals and idk what ur doing
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.
Thanks and glad you liked the video! It’s 3rd in my chain after a tuner and volume but it is great for sure! About to be fourth in the chain after a sub n up as well!
Not enough information to communicate effectively. So you've ended up with just gossip. Is that mxr OD? Boss? EVH? This was actually a terrible video. Sensativity doesn't mean to listen for the dead start to the notes. You're crazy.
Excellent video. Not an irrelevant word or jokes or rambling on about irrelevant things like the 2 guys from England or that irritating pedal show. A+!
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.
It wasn't a great review. Lets point out to you Professionals have a set of mxr pedals. It doesn't get played by itself, not plugged in to any other pedal.
No that's user error sound. Professional pedal and professionals plug this pedal into a set of mxr pedals. The crispness goes away and the TRUE sound is activated.
I can’t play a telecaster without one. The compressor prevents the G string from barking out louder than all the other strings. Everything is all evened out Of course it adds a little “ snap and pop” to the clean tone. A clicky sound. Perfect for country
Oh, its day dreamer Johnny. Hey Johnny how about you wake-up and just go buy the set of mxr pedals? Why are you holding back? Why don't you stop stuffing around and buy a set and act like a real guitarist? Why are you even mentioning ibanez? After all these years of you 2 listening to male gossip, you still have no clue a professional uses a set of mxr pedals.
Nice Reverend! I noticed that your string tree is slanted, versus being parallel with the frets. Do you find that this works better for you? I have 2 Reverends.
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.
I am between the MXR and the Boss CS3……. I can not go and test ( no decent music shop in my city) so it's hard to decide.. I can find both for the same price in second hand market..
@@magicthrash yeah sorry, I simply meant I did not know the answer because I haven’t used the super comp. Watch some other videos though and I’m sure you’ll find your answer!
Signal/noise ratio? I'd like to use it for clean arpeggios with chorus and delay for 80s sounds ala Cocteau Twins, so I need the most clean sound possible.
@@DevanBishop thanks for your reply. I've just noticed that it's currently used by one of my fav artist (Drab Majesty)... But judging on some demos and also on the few times I played it personally, it seems to have very little "musical" or usable range before getting too extreme. I mean you can't go past 11 o'clock on the sensitivity. Is it true? Moreover many people complain about the noise. What are your impressions?
@@lovecraftmusic8717 I haven’t had much issue with it but again it’s a subtle thing I use. If you’re looking for lots of compression maybe something but that my opinion.
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.
Wrong again. Obvious to me the problem is male gossip. It belongs in a set of pedals. Why are you SO extremely cheap? In 2022 we're using 10 mxr pedals as a set of pedals. Professionals aren't using 1 pedal to judge 1 pedal. You've got 9 mxr pedals already plugged in and you add this pedal to the set. Why do you make everything SO difficult? Is a professional in your mind a 1 pedal boywonder?
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.
I have the electric guitar, and regular speaker, where there isn’t coming out the electric guitar sound. Will this compressor sustainer make a difference ? (Thank you).
i think what you mean is that you’re on the clean channel. if you want your electric guitar to sound like ‘a rock n roll electric guitar’, get a distortion or overdrive pedal for a start. hope this helps :)
It means you Can't tell the difference between an amature review for of gossip and wrong information, and a professional review for a professional pedal which only works in the professional set of pedals from Mxr.
Sorry but this is not a good video, when you've got compression on, you are actually physically holding the note longer yourself, I can't really tell the difference !
Best review for this pedal!
Thanks my friend!

It’s a nice pedal and I enjoy having it for sure.
It's good. Smoke Crack. The mosky version is also excellent at 1/3 the price.

It very clearly video of how to use compressor thank you this very helpful for me to decide to buy the pedal

Ese pedal me lo han recomendado, estoy comenzando a armar mi board y voy a a poco y necesito un buen compresor. Gracias Devan!
No te arrepentirás! Es exquisito, además si le das más sensibilidad te da un toque de “suciedad” muy rico, estilo Frusciante por así decirlo

Thanks my friend and yeah it’s great 👍

Thriftiness is written all over you.
Would a professional say "I'm getting 1?"
Grow up people!
I was looking for exact same ,, tnx man.
Sure thing!
The pedal is pushing the interface like it will push an amp. I use the dynacomp almost specifically for boost
I do as well and it works well. I’d like to try the deluxe version to.
Good explanation!
Thanks my friend and more to come!
That single note line sounds like Dr. Dre!
Haha glad you liked it!
very nice explanation ever
Thanks 😊
Great video, brother. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Sweet, I just got a MXR super comp. After retiring my vintage Ibanez cp830.
The dyna comp was a close call. Might get it later in the future lol
It’s very good and maybe soon I’ll try the super comp.
Cool, its always fun to talk musical gear 🙌🏻 🎸
Yeah it is!

I don’t think it is 😅 but I do like the feel of this guitar
Just put an EQ pedal after the compressor and dial it in to regain your guitar
Solid advice
They should add blend/mix knob.
They have one that has an extra knob but it’s more money 💵
I’m surprised in 2 years nobody has mentioned that a dead note could mean it’s time to get your axe freshened up with a re-fret.
It’s something to check for sure
I will go with the deluxe version.
I’d be interested in trying it for sure

I wonder if it's possible to use the MXR Dyna Comp Bass with a guitar. It allows you to blend in uncompressed signal with the compressed signal.
That’s a good question. I’d like to try it anyway
@@DevanBishop Maybe, there's a guitar version of it.
@@DevanBishop There actually is one. It's called the Dyna Comp Deluxe. I just looked it up. It's the guitar version of the Dyna Comp Bass.
Thanks man!
Anytime!
You seemed to be already compressed! Before you even kick the comp on?
Yup sure did 😆
Good video!
What is better - mxr dyna cimp or mxr super comp?
Good question 😆

can it be powered with a battery?
I believe so but I just use a one spot cable and power it with some others.
