Dunlop produced the MXR Dyna Comp Mini (M291-U) as a compact variant of the original Dyna Comp compressor, housed in a enclosure described as nearly half the size of its predecessor. The unit occupied the same functional territory as the classic Dyna Comp while adding a discrete Attack switch not present on the original, allowing the player to select between slow and fast attack times.
The M291-U operates on a 9 V DC supply drawing 4 mA. It presents an input impedance of 800 kΩ and an output impedance of 15 kΩ, with a maximum input level of −5 dBV and a maximum output level of −12 dBV. Maximum compression reaches 36 dB, total harmonic distortion is rated at 0.2 %, and the noise floor sits at −95 dBV. The Attack switch — the distinguishing addition over the standard Dyna Comp — toggles between the two attack modes at the unit level, requiring no external routing.
Owners needing calibration, switch service, or power-supply troubleshooting should consult a qualified electronics technician familiar with compact effects units.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
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.
Owner photos
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.
