MXR M132 SUPER COMPRESSOR

From Dyna Comp to Super Comp: the Logical Evolution of a Classic

MXR is among the brands that defined the sound of "dynamic" pedals, and the Dyna Comp remains one of the historic references for guitar compression. Its minimalist approach has won over generations of guitarists, but it can also limit certain settings: depending on the guitar and picking style, compression can kick in "too fast" and lose some bite. The MXR M132 Super Comp retains this typical character and adds the game-changing control: Attack. The result: compression that's always immediate to set but much easier to adapt to your instrument, pickups, and style.

For Which Guitarists and Situations?

The M132 Super Comp is aimed at anyone who wants better dynamic control without getting lost in complex settings. It suits both beginner guitarists (who want more "held" and consistent sounds) and seasoned musicians (seeking an expressive, adjustable, and mix-friendly compressor).

In practice, it's a formidable ally for country (clear attack + clean sustain), funk (percussive, leveled rhythms), blues (notes that "sing" at controlled volume), as well as pop and rock whenever you want a guitar that stays in its place in the mix. In the studio, it helps stabilize takes and homogenize arpeggios; live, it adds that "finished" quality that gives presence without necessarily increasing volume.
