A friend of mine told me that you can do just as well with a MXR Dynacomp Guitar Compressor (cheaper) than the MXR bass specific compressor (about $150). What do you think? Bass specific pedal or doesn't matter?

Never tried one of those. I just saw it at Amazon for $60. At that price it might be worth trying. If you like it, you're golden.

On the other hand, the only knobs it has are input and output. No attack or release or ratio. In other words, you control nothing about what the compressor does except how loud you have to play for it to kick in. How much it compresses, how quickly it starts working, how quickly it dissipates--all of that seems baked in.

I suppose there's a chance that it has the exact values that you personally would want. But that...doesn't seem likely.

Noo. No way. World of a difference. I wish I knew that before I blew $75 on the Dynacomp instead of plunking down another $100 and getting one of the best pedal compressors out there.

I STILL can't get rid of my DynaComp, I've been trying to sell it for 2 months now

Pretty strong MXR representation in the back row, and keeping it in the Dunlop family with the Way Huge. With total honesty though, I can say none of the pedals are there just because they are MXR ... I tested each one against many other pedals, and each time, it was the MXR pedal that won out (the POG has to remain though ... nothing else sounds close to it).

I might add the new chorus and\ or the od, but i tried the initial models to make it over here at the weekend, all be it in a noisy environment, but i wasnt totally convinced. I'll try them again when my dealer gets stock
