MXR™ DYNACOMP™ COMPRESSOR REPLICA RTS PCB

The ready-to-solder (RTS) PCB for our MXR™ Dynacomp™ compressor replica, the 1970s squeeze box that became a staple on Telecaster pedalboards.

About the effect

The Dynacomp™ was a groundbreaking compressor design in the 1970s. This project replicates the original '70s MXR™ Innovations circuit, not the versions made by Dunlop™ Manufacturing today. Our build adds true bypass switching and an LED indicator, neither of which changes the tone. The Ross™ Compressor was copied from this design, and in our opinion the Dynacomp™ is every bit as good a compressor as the Ross™, which is why both are built on this same board.
