Preferable to the Dyna Comp

I have both. This is brighter, louder and the attack knob gives you more control. When faced with a choice between the two, this is the one to go for.

Good compressor but a little noisy

Great for dialling in the sound you want. Little adjustments go a long way. Adds some noise into the system, but it does what it's for very well.

When it comes to Compression it's gotta be Super

I knew what kind of Compressor pedal I wanted. It was the Ross Compressor but as musicians we all know how much they along with the AnalogMan Compressor pedals cost. So I decided to go with the MXR. I've only had it for about 3 weeks and it's a great compressor pedal. I won't got with another unless AnalogMan gives me one for free. C'Mon Mike!!! \m/ (-_-) \m/

Classic compressor

Classic compression for cheap, no true bypass, simple controls. If you expect something more exciting - go for more expensive pedals.

Loads of sustain

This is my first pedalcompressor, and i like the sound I get from it. Only drawback is that the knobs are so easy to rotate that I might accidentally change my parameters with my guitarcable for instance. Dont know if this applies for all MXR pedals but i like them being firm as on BOSS pedals.

Important pedal that does not too much

Use this as a clean boost, but like what it did to the sound, now leave it on all the time.

Not a Bass pedal

My rating should only be seen as it's relevance to bass. My guitarist says he loves this pedal but when I use it it sucks all the low end out of my tone.

Iw as about to make a really detailed response about how compression works in general and also how most guitar and bass comp pedals are designed but instead I'llpoint out that there are ltos of good bass comp epdals on the market (including oen from mxr) that are designed to alleviate the low end suck of heavy handed compression on bass isntruments... on top of that a guitar comp will probably have a small input cap compared with a abss comp and those iput capacitors form a basic highpass. its reducing frequencies that aren't msucial coming off a guitar pickup but those are often your fundamental on bass so you need less input filtering.... that's the difference between specific bass distortion effects and the regular guitar ones usually too. 1 part! A bass compressor will probably have some interesting filtering in the detector circuit too, what ew call a sidechain, probably something you've ehard of if you know any EDM/DJ?producer wannabe types ;-)

I know, I have a proper compressor for my bass, just saying this one doesn't work the way I wanted it to. I'm sure it's great :)

Dyna who?

I was using a Digitech Compressor/Sustainer, and it gave me nothing but a very squished sound, lots of noise, and almost no control over the output level - as a sustainer pedal (even with some noise) it was great, though. I got rid of it about 9 months ago. Around a 2 months ago I got a second hand MXR Super Comp and a new Dyna Comp (they were around the same price). I returned the Dyna Comp and the Super Comp stayed. What a great compressor! Awesome response from the knobs, and it doesn't add as much colour to the sound as the Dyna Comp. I also like the extra Attack Level knob, which provides way more control over my sound. I don't play strats/single coil guitars, so maybe that's why I didn't like the Dyna. As a Les Paul fan to all the Humbucker lovers out there, give the MXR Super Comp a chance to show you a new world! (Unless you own a TC Electronic Hyper Gravity, than you're good already)
