How pants is it?
A guy at work is selling his for £10 and I was considering buying it just because it's so cheap...

I like MXR Supercomp, and also MXR Dynacomp, although I don't own the latter.

I had one of the MXR comps and it was really good for compressing, but I just didn't dig compressing guitar.

It's not great, a little noisy
MXR Dyna Comp is much nicer:

Ha ha I'd just searched the pedal in google and this is the first video it brings up...
It definitely sounds worth a tenner...
I was actually thinking about using it with my bass as the compressor on my amp is dogshit, however the review I've read suggests it needs modding to be of any use with bass...

Is the Dyna Comp pretty quiet then? I tried one out a long time ago, and I really liked the sound, but it was a long time ago...

I've not used it but the T Rex Nova compressor can be had for £50-60. There's probably a pro guitar shop demo for it.

Are you interested in selling it? I can send it back to you no bother - or ebay it for you and give you the profits.

i may be interested in the dynacomp, it's based on a ross compressor isn't it?

Aye. DIY variants use the same circuit.

I'm starting to get the distinct impression that you receive a kickback on all T Rex pedals sold. I, like my brother-from-another-mother Aphasiac, have never really seen the point of compressors.
