Description
Before pedalboards were a thing, the original script Dyna Comp was quietly showing up on session after session, prized for a compression sound that stayed clear rather than muddy. MXR’s Custom Shop version goes back to that source, tracking down the rare “metal can” CA3080 IC that gave the early units their particular character — a smooth, even squeeze on your attack with just enough sustain lift to make single notes bloom and chords stay tight.
- Rare metal-can CA3080 IC for authentic vintage compression tone
- Low-noise circuit that keeps pick attack clear instead of washed out
- Just the right amount of squash — controlled, not over-compressed
- LED status indicator for quick on/off visibility on a dark stage
- Standard 9-volt power jack, no battery-door digging required
Where it earns its spot on the board: run it early in the chain, right after your guitar, so it’s compressing your raw signal before drive or modulation pedals get involved. That’s the setup that put this circuit on countless recordings in the first place — even sustain for leads, punchy consistency for funk and country picking, and a subtle glue that makes single-coils sound a touch more confident without losing their edge. It’s not a pedal that colors your tone loudly; it’s one that quietly makes everything downstream sound more in control.
