The MXR M282 Dyna Comp Bass is a bass-optimized version of the classic MXR Dyna Comp OTA compressor, featuring bass-specific tuning that preserves low-frequency content under compression. Controls include Comp (compression amount), Output, Attack, and Color (tonal character selector) for comprehensive bass compression shaping. The Dyna Comp Bass addresses the tonal thinning that occurs when the standard guitar-voiced Dyna Comp is used on bass.
