The MXR M228 Dyna Comp Stereo is a stereo compressor pedal from Dunlop's MXR division, expanding the classic Dyna Comp OTA compressor to stereo output for wide, spread compression. The Dyna Comp circuit uses an OTA (Operational Transconductance Amplifier) for the classic warm, musical squish compression character associated with the original 1970s Dyna Comp. Stereo output allows dual-amp or stereo PA setups.
