MXRM-132 Super Comp Compressor Pedal
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
MXR's Super Comp compressor. For players who want string-to-string evenness, sustain and a tighter attack for clean and country-style playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Evening out fingerstyle or hybrid-picking dynamics
- Adding sustain to clean parts that die out too fast
- Country and funk rhythm work that needs a snappy, consistent attack
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want their dynamics untouched
- High-gain rigs where the amp is already compressing hard
- Anyone chasing a tone change rather than a dynamics change
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Sustain control
More sustain means more squash. Push it far and you'll hear the noise floor rise between notes.
Detail 03
Attack shaping
Lets you keep some pick snap instead of flattening the front of every note.
Detail 04
Always-on capable
Many players leave a compressor engaged all set. Set unity gain so switching it doesn't jump volume.
Detail 05
Compact pedal format
Fits a standard board row. Effective placement is usually early, near the front of the chain.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Power supply not included — plan for 9V power or a battery
- 02Compression raises noise; a noisy rig gets noisier with the sustain up
- 03Set it by feel with the band, not alone in a quiet room
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it need a power supply?
Yes, and one isn't included. Use a 9V adapter or a free slot on your pedalboard supply.
02Where does a compressor go in the chain?
Usually early, close to the guitar and before drive pedals, so it's shaping the raw signal.
03Will it work with bass?
Compressors are commonly used on bass to even out note levels. Watch that heavy squash doesn't thin the low end.
04Can I leave it on all the time?
Yes. Set the output so engaging it doesn't change your overall volume, then leave it running.
