Description

Dunlop produced the M102-U as part of the MXR Dyna Comp line, positioning it as a utility compressor pedal suited to a range of playing styles and signal-chain roles.

The Dyna Comp operated on 9 volts DC at a draw of 3.3 mA and offered up to 36 dB of maximum compression. Attack time was 5 ms with a release time of 1 second, giving the circuit a relatively fixed dynamic response. Input impedance was rated at 1 MΩ and output impedance at 10 kΩ, with a nominal input level of −5 dBV and a nominal output level of −12 dBV. Total harmonic distortion measured 0.2% typical at −20 dBV at 1 kHz, and the noise floor was rated at 95 dBV. The pedal employed true hardwire bypass.

Owners sourcing a compatible power supply should note the 9-volt DC requirement and the 3.3 mA current draw when planning a pedalboard power arrangement. For questions about calibration, internal trim adjustments, or signal-chain integration, a qualified guitar technician or electronics repair specialist is the appropriate resource.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
