MXR Dyna Comp Effects Pedal Review

This was the first pedal I ever bought. In retrospect, maybe I should have bought a fuzz box first, but that's my fault, not the box's. This box doesn't make your sound get fuzzy, pulse or turn somersaults, but that's by design.
For those of you who haven't used a compressor, it makes softer sounds louder and louder sounds softer by reducing (aka "compressing") the dynamic range of the instrument. At less extreme settings, it adds some sustain and a bit of extra attack that helps to cut through the live mix. If you set the compression too high, however, you will end up with no soft or loud passages at all-everything is the same volume, even finger and pick noise.
I like to use this pedal for a clean solo boost and to keep some definition when using other effects. I set this pedal up before the fuzz boxes and wah pedals, put in a little compression (I set the Sensitivity to 10 o'clock or so) and set the output to match my uneffected volume. This gives me a little more attack and sustain and adds a brightness that works well with the other boxes. If I really want to get a clicky, percussive, clean 80's new wave sound, I turn the Sensitivity knob up just past 12 o'clock and I sound like I'm in the Cars.
