MXR M282 Dyna Comp Bass Compressor Pedal, White

Product Information

In the end, I found the Dyna Comp Bass Compressor to deliver on its promise to reproduce the classic Dyna Comp sound for bass players in a way that fits our specific needs, while keeping it simple. This pedal can be powered by a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the DC Brick, Iso-Brick, and Mini Iso-Brick power supplies (not included). I see it as our job to support the foundation of music, so in designing this pedal, we kept the role and function of bass front and center,” he says.

The Sensitivity knob determines the sustain time, while the Attack knob switches between two different response speeds of the circuit. I mainly use it to just even things out rather than squash it, but when I do slap stuff and need that extra compression, all I need to do is engage the Attack switch and I'm ready to go. Last but not least, the mid boost or cut at 1 kHz, which can be adjusted via the Tone control, determines the decisive sound character and assertiveness.The Tone control is right around 1kHz so you can dial back in that high end that you lose with compression. The Dyna Comp Bass Compressor delivers the most iconic compression sound in music history, tweaked and tuned just for bass players. The Clean knob also mixes in the dry bass signal, maintaining pressure and definition in the low frequencies.

There will be a delay in dispatching any guitar containing either Bubinga or Rosewood of up to 4 weeks while we obtain the necessary certification for export. You get a real, strong, clean, thuddy bottom to build your loop on ith this unit - - but I'm still playing with it. The Clean control lets you add in your unaffected bass signal so that you can maintain low end integrity, while the Tone control adjusts the upper midrange to retain the tonal dynamics of your bass. With the MXR M282 Dyna Comp Bass Compressor, the American effects company presents a version of the legendary compressor effect that is tuned to the electric bass. I’ve been impressed with the pedals coming out of Dunlop’s MXR Bass Innovation division; their creations are always intuitive, bass-centric in all the ways that matter, and built to withstand real-world wear and tear — thanks largely to the input provided by bassist and producer, Darryl Anders.

How you use compression depends on the genres you play, your personal attack on the strings, your goals with sound, and how often you switch musical genres within one set, to name just a few factors. I was on the multiband compressor train for a long time, but this small pedal has easily revolutionized my sound in ways that I didn't know it needed. Built around the classic CA3080 "metal can" integrated circuit for its quiet operation, superior transparency, and increased dynamic range, this pedal comes with all the controls you need to shape your compressed sound in no time at all.
