From the
Jim Dunlop
"Released in 1972, the Dyna Comp Compressor featured simple, straightforward controls—labeled
Output and Sensitivity—to govern the volume and compression levels, respectively. Inside, it
contained the coveted CA3080 metal can integrated circuit, which remains a key component to its
sound and vibe.
The original Dyna Comp Compressor was an instant hit, finding its way into the signal chains of
monster players such as Lowell George and Bonnie Raitt, who favored it for the sweet sustain it
lent to their slide work, and David Gilmour, who liked how the Dyna Comp Compressor could make
his single-note lines bloom and soar. Other prominent guitarists who would rely on the Dyna Comp
Compressor include Andy Summers—his popping, ringing clean chords are a perfect illustration of
the pedal's sonic mojo."
