Regardless of the genre you play I'd highly recommend trying one of these on your pedalboard. Solid build, flexible tones and quite affordable for such a good bit of equipment.
People complaining about noise issues have a noisy guitar/effects chain. The problem is not this pedal. It is common sense. A compressor picks up frequencies. If your rig is already noisy, it will enhance or bring up the noise signal too. Common sense. So no worries here. Great little sound enhancer. Gilmour and thousands of more guitar gods have used one.
This pedal did exactly what I wanted it to do. I'm playing with more confidence. This should've been my first pedal. (I play a Fender Strat and play for hobby).
A compressor literally "compresses" your sound. It raises the volume and punch of your softer sounds, and brings down your louder sounds. All depending on how you set your pedal. The more compressed, the less dynamic capability of your rig. However, it allows you to focus on playing and crashing chords knowing you will play at a consistent dynamic and presence.
I play on a Gibson Les Paul with Burst Bucker pickups. My friend plays on a Fender Strat with single coils of some sort (whatever the name of the stockers are. I dont own a fender!). He owns this pedal. As do I. He has a great sound that makes a clear and positive improvement on his clean signal. Mine does not affect the sound of my guitar as much, but nevertheless, makes my clean punchier and more desirable for a funky clean rhythm per say. I have to keep my output all the way up and my sensitivity between completely off and 9 o'clock to avoid buzz to see a difference. It depends on my surroundings (lights, other amps, ect). All compressors should have a better affect on single coils opposed to hum buckers.
As with all compressors, if you have a buzzy rig, try to clean it up with better cables, a noise suppressor/ noise gate, if you have a daisy chain you may wish to isolate your noisier pedals from your non-problematic pedals, OR you may need to have your guitar or amp serviced if they're nice enough not to buzz (not being a jerk!!). I say all of this because this guy will make your buzz worse, as with all compressors. If buzz is not a problem, regardless of what guitar you have, it makes your rig all the more versatile. Keep it set up for your single coil guitars, and keep it off for your hum bucker equipped guitars. And if you play through a tube amp you will definitely see a bigger difference than a solid state if you have never experienced one before.
As long winded as this review is, if you know all about compressors and what you use them for and just want a simple review, its awesome. Inexpensive for a quality compressor that is both sturdy and great sounding. Much love for the dyna comp!
Read a lot about compressors before getting it and found this one as a mid price / excelent quality pedal.
Compression is not for everybody, a friend who plays really good says compression is for people who don't play well... I've been playing for 20 years and I just love what this does to the sound. Just be sure to know what this does before buying.
This can be used with a 9V battery so makes it very portable
Personally, I use it as a clean boost, and that can create noise in the loop. You just have to dabble here and there to find the right settings.
Pros:
- Great for the price
Cons:
It's a great pedal. I recommend it for live settings.

Muy buen pedal
Spedizione puntuale
It's the kind of thing a parent might have bought for a kid circa 1970.
It sounds amazing, but only when it's loud. When it is quiet, it has no life.
With the output on full, the MXR Dyna Comp pushes my amp just enough that I can get a good tone at a low volume level. I don't need to bother my neighbours in order to sound good. Yay!
I'm so glad I bought this!
Additional note: The "Sensitivity" knob does a lot. I keep mine way below half.
