Red Comp is our take on the

 

 

 

 

 

classic Dyna Comp stomp box. It is

 

 

 

 

 

a simple compressor with fixed ra-

 

 

 

 

 

tio, threshold and time constants

 

 

 

 

 

(each matched to the original). The

 

 

 

 

 

amount of compression is set with

 

 

 

 

 

the Sense control. The higher the

 

 

 

 

 

value of Sense, the more the signal

 

 

 

 

 

is “squashed.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Red Comp has lots of uses. It is

 

 

 

 

 

generally used in front of the amp.
