like Bob Bradshaw, Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Prince, Joe Perry, Lenny
Kravitz, Kirk Hammet, the Edge, Steve Lukather, and Zakk Wylde. The
result? Some of the coolest, ultra hot-rodded effect pedals ever known
and reintroductions of hard to get, out-of-production Classics. MXR has
now opened its Custom Shop to the public and will be releasing these

‘76 VINTAGE
CSP-028 DYNA COMP
In the quest for ultimate tone, a compressor is an indispensable ally. And
the MXR Dyna Comp that was produced in 1976 has long been regarded as
the ultimate stomp box compressor. There’s something inherently musical
in the way it “tightens up” a guitar signal, raising the volume of quiet notes
and leveling off peaks to create rich, full bodied sustain. From country
twangers to metal monsters, guitarists have long relied on the MXR Dyna
Comp to make their riffs stand tall in any live or studio mix.
And now the MXR Custom Shop brings back that highly sought-after sound
with the ‘76 Vintage Dyna Comp. Meticulously researched and superbly
crafted, it features the exact same circuitry used in the original 1976 Dyna
Comp, identical in its component layout, silkscreen and handmade wire
harness. The key component is the old school CA3080 “metal can”
integrated circuit (IC), which yields quieter operation, greater transparency
and increased dynamic range. These ICs have been out of production
since the ‘80s, but MXR has tracked down a stash of them—enough to
produce a limited run of these little red boxes of compression bliss. With
supplies limited, the MXR ‘76 Vintage Dyna Comp is destined to quickly
become as ultra collectible as its noble ancestor. So get yours now.
Available only from the MXR Custom Shop.
