How is the current stock Dyna Comp?

I had one for about 3 weeks.

 

It was noisy.

It was overly squishy

It kept on pumping throughout the release - getting louder and quieter

It sounded "ragged" - kinda nasty and not at all transparent.

 

Great compressor, but wasn't for me.

A noisy compressor? Hmm... so did it add more noise to your signal (generating new noise) or did it just "compress" the signal and raise the level of the existing noise?

I used to have a Block Logo RI and a vintage Script DynaComp

the reissue was quieter, the vintage one was noisy with the output past 2 o'clock

sensitivity past 2 o'clock made both sound very squishy, with a lot of "oomph", worked great with distortion, made it sound really tight

for clean sounds, it works charmingly if you keep the volume at around unity gain and sensitivity at around 10 o'clock, for a more subtle compression

sounds better with single coils imo, it sounds fantastic with Rickenbackers

great for clean picking, country, funk

 

lok into the SuperComp as well, it has attack level control, this allows to finetune the "oomph" pumping phenomenon.

It added new noise. But it's the kind of thing that'd probably change between individual dynacomps - luck of the draw.
