Like Phase 90 and Distortion +, the M102 Dyna Comp is one of the classics that have made the brand famous and have been seen in the pedalboards of countless stars.
A classic, of course! Since 1974, there are countless albums on which the Dyna Comp holds a place of choice, from Pink Floyd to Little Feat via King Crimson or Sonny Landreth. This little red box was originally a very rare way to get some compression on a guitar without going through studio racks. Since then, many brands have released more or less successful Dyna Comp clones. In spite of everything, the original remains unbeatable more than forty years later.
Two buttons and the truth. Only two settings make it possible to obtain very many sounds on the M102 Dyna Comp. The Output control controls the output volume, either to compensate for a loss of perceived level with high compression ratios, or to boost the compressed sound, while the Sensitivity setting gives access to the compression ratio, to switch from a discrete effect to a crushing sound much more pronounced.
Compress the chicken. The possible uses of the M102 Dyna Comp are manifold. Guitarists specialized in slide or chicken picking country, use it to equalize the intensity of their attack, the bluesmen to extend their sustain, and funk specialists to accentuate the percussive and slamming side of their sound. Whatever your reason, the Dyna Comp has its place at your feet.
