It is relatively quiet during operation when compared to some other compressors on the market, but noiseless it is not. It gives you 4 knobs to fiddle with Output, Clean, Tone, and Sensitivity plus the Attack switch that sets the range of attack times. This pedal makes dialing in your compression easy and straightforward. The Dyna Comp Bass is a bass focused stompbox housed in a miniature enclosure, so you will not have any trouble finding a place for it on your cramped pedalboard. The Dyna Comp Bass is an all-analog bass compressor, built around the iconic CA3080 circuit, exactly like its predecessor the iconic bright red, 2 knob 1970s Dyna Comp, which to this day remains a popular compressor choice for guitar and bass players alike. My Review: If you feel you are in need of a simple, easy to use compressor or your pedalboard starts to get cramped or if you are on a budget but you don’t want to compromise on sound quality – the MXR Dyna Comp Bass may tick all these boxes for you. It’s one of the best compressors on the market. You basically get noiseless compression with the ability to alter all the relevant compression parameters, and with a very transparent tone. Few other bass compressors on the market let you have as much control over your compression parameters.īottom Line: This is a great pedal for any bass player who wants to dig deeper into compressors. ![]() Target Customer: The MXR M87 can be harder to properly set up for the uninitiated when compared to a 1 or 2-knob compressor, but the versatility it offers is unquestionable. It has a true bypass circuit making sure that your tone doesn’t degrade while the unit is on, and it can also function as a limiter. The 10 LED display comes in handy when you’re setting the threshold (using the input control), it lights up to let you know when the compression kicks in. It has a 5 knob control layout with attack, release, and ratio plus the input control(acting as a threshold control) and the output knob setting the make-up gain. Key Specs: The MXR M87 bass compressor features a full set of controls to tweak it to your liking. It features a true bypass circuit, comes with a small footprint, and is totally transparent. While some compressors add a lot of hiss to your sound when they kick in, the M87 is almost silent in this regard. The Constant Headroom Technology (CHT) MXR has built into this little compressor ensures that you have plenty of headroom for any of your dynamic needs until you reach the compression threshold and the 10 LED display lights up showing you by how much your signal is attenuated when the compressor starts working. You can also use the M87 as a limiter, as it also features a 20:1 ratio, enabling you to soft limit your output volume if you wanted to protect your speakers, for example. The input acts as your threshold control, setting the level at which the compressor kicks in (when the LED display lights up), while the output controls your make-up gain. The ratio knob lets you choose between some of the more frequently used compression ratios, 4:1 and 8:1 being the ones you’ll probably use most of the time, without losing too much of your dynamic range. The attack time has a very usable range and can be set from 20ms to 800ms, while the release time ranges from 50ms to 1.1 secs. Many pedal-format compressors have too few controls to let you dial in the settings you want, but the M87 Bass compressor gives you access to 5 control functions to shape your sound as you please, Attack, Release, compression Ratio (selectable between 4:1,8:1,12:1 and 20:1), plus separate Input and Output level controls. ![]() My Review: MXR has built a studio-quality analog FET compressor into a standard sized bass pedal that sounds very transparent and doesn’t color your tone.
