MXR is a brand recognized for the quality of its compressors, starting with the historic Dyna Comp. For those who want to go further in the settings keeping the typical character of the brand, here is the M132 Super Comp.
Unloved indeed. Difficult to convince the guitarists of the merits of a compressor, as this effect is poorly understood and can be laborious to use. Often, the compression pedals have as many buttons as a prepubescent teenager and require long hours of experimentation to achieve the desired result. Yet from country to funk to blues, countless pros have made it the basis of their sound.
The middle. The Dyna Comp is one of the first pedals offered by MXR in the early 1970s. And although it has become a classic, too simple its settings prevented certain types of compression. So here is finally the M132 Super Comp, the perfect compromise between easy to understand settings and versatility. In a nutshell, the perfect compressor for demanding technophobes.
The button that was missing. We kept the output level and compression rate buttons (sensitivity) typical of the Dyna Comp, but we won a third title called Attack. It controls the time that the compressor will apply to the sound, which gives the opportunity to keep its attack unchanged by compressing the sustain only. Or, conversely, systematically reduce the dynamics of all note starts. Everything becomes possible, finally!
Compressors, that's good. The loss of sustain despite the increase in volume, it is already less. Farewell Compressor of besides time, here is the MXR 132, that which solves the problems of attack without removing the characteristics of your sound! - The successor of the Dyna Comp M102, - Attack level control that preserves the original volume without removing sustain, - Compatible with all styles, and microphones, - This pedal is INDESTRUCTIBLE !!! - 9V adapter. optional: MDU ECB003E.
