JIM DUNLOP EQ Effects Pedal (11132000001)

The sound of a Dyna Comp, but with adjustable attack.I had a Dyna Comp on my pedal board for decades until it finally went to the big pedal board in the sky.Picked this up for a great price. Sounds like my old Dyna Comp, except less noisy. The added attack control adds some versatility.

If you need a good comp for your board look no farther this pedal is always on my board and always lit up

Too distorted for my taste

Really like how much this compressor improves the overall sound and tone of my guitar. Fixed dynamics issues I was having while fret tapping and using various pedals with my guitar. It does add some noise if you crank it past 50% or so, but that is to be expected. The pedal itself is heavy for its size due to its metal casing but durable. Attack knob I believe is a necessary feature that makes this model worth the extra ten bucks or so.

Haven't worked much with compression before; but this does the job that I would expect from compression and is a nice feature / addition to the pedalboard. I use it often, just to get an extra something to my clean and dirty sound.Great sound / tone for my Strat! Provides an additional tone that I can't get without it.Great sustain!

I use to run the old school compressor with a Boss ME-6 and a set of pre-amp+eq pedals... still needed the extra pedal for gigs where i could just bring a pair of pedals and stand off the solos. This guy was recommended by a friend, and with some doubts I got my ears on it. First, the true-bypass and output level got my attention... but, working out the right settings with the rest of the effects chain WOW! Sensitivity and Attack became a great help with the mix of Wah and Overdrive. Truly impressed!

This compression pedal is very well made and does what it's supposed to do: compress and focus your guitar signal so it cuts through the mix. Compression is supposed to push your signal more toward the middle of the sound spectrum, but the effect is pretty subtle, really. According to an article I read, the compression pedal should be the first one in your chain. I didn't have it set up that way at first, but when I reconfigured my pedal board like that, the guitar signal really came into focus no matter what other pedals I was using. A few reviewers have stated that this pedal is noisy. I don't find that all. There's a little hiss if you max the output on the pedal, but I only keep it at about 60-70% and there's no problem. The hum from my Fender amp on a good day is louder.

I’ve had a few compressors and decided to try this one because Erik Johnson mentioned he used one on his board. He said he chose it because it made less noise than others. Seems to be a true statement.
