dod Milkbox vs MXR Dynacomp

[ludwiguy]

Some time back I tried the Milkbox and liked the sound, but now it is only available here via mailorder. I have been checking out the Dynacomp from GC as well, but I don't like the clicking sound when playing the clean channel.

 

Since the Milkbox has the attack control, I was wondering if it can add sustain without the clicking sound, as well as have the option if I want it.

 

The Dynacomp had less noise IMO than the EHX Soul Preacher, and I think less clicking. I have read a few reviews that the Milkbox is noisey. Could anyone tell me if it made more noise than the Dynacomp?

 

Also, I don't like it that battery change is inconvenient on the Dynacomp.

 

I mainly would like sustain available for leads, and a good compression for rythym and bass guitar, and 12 string electric.

Does the DOD Milklbox have a setting that eliminates the clicking sound of the pick attack?

DOD has by far the best compression circuit of modern "non-boutique" compressors. I think the Milkbox is the same as the old FX280B, which is very similar to the older Dynacomps but with an extra knob. I'd just get the DOD.

Thanks for the info. Never heard that before. Just wish I could hear them side by side. There is a mod, however, for the Dynacomp, which is highly recommended. The claim is that it gets as good as more expensive compressors.

 

Only I still think it lacks the attack control.
