The MXR Super Comp Compressor is the next-generation evolution of a classic, bringing all the beloved squish and sustain of the original Dyna Comp while adding a new level of control and versatility to your pedalboard. With the addition of an Attack Level knob, the Super Comp lets you preserve the punch and clarity of your initial notes without sacrificing the signature sustain and smoothness that made the Dyna Comp a pedalboard staple. Whether you want that classic Nashville snap, funk rhythm tightness, or just a touch of studio polish, the Super Comp delivers legendary compression with modern flexibility.

Classic Compression with Modern Control

Building on decades of proven tone, the Super Comp features the same classic compression circuit that has defined countless hit records, but now you can fine-tune your attack response to perfectly suit your playing style. The Attack Level control ensures that even the hottest pickups retain their dynamic impact, making the Super Comp equally at home with vintage single-coils and high-output humbuckers. The result is a pedal that brings out the best in your playing, from subtle evening out of your dynamics to full-on squash for that unmistakable pop and sustain.

Simple, Effective, and Built for the Road

Designed with the working musician in mind, the Super Comp keeps things straightforward with just three knobs: Output, Sensitivity, and Attack Level. Dial in the overall effect volume, set your preferred amount of compression, and adjust the attack response to taste. The rugged MXR enclosure, true hardwire bypass, and ultra-low noise floor ensure reliable, transparent performance gig after gig. Whether you’re tightening up your rhythm or bringing leads to the front of the mix, the Super Comp is the kind of pedal you can always rely on.

Versatile Enough for Any Rig

The Super Comp is fully compatible with a wide range of guitars and pickup types, handling everything from vintage single-coils to modern high-output pickups with ease. It’s just as happy on a studio board as it is on a gigging pedalboard, and its compact footprint means it won’t crowd your setup. Power it with a standard 9-volt battery or power supply and you’re ready to go, wherever your music takes you.

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
