Harley Benton Dyna Compressor

This is an analog compressor with three settings: volume, compression and sustain (which actually corresponds to the time during which each note is compressed).
The case is metal and the pedal feels solid.
No fault visible construction.
As to the aesthetic (white scorpion on a green background) each judge ... but for the price I was not looking too ...

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple and does not hesitate to "push" the settings to hear a difference in the sound reproduction; but after a moment the slightest movement induces a change (maybe this is due to the choice of component?) it can be seen as a lack of efficiency or quality but for my part I got used to and it suits me to use that I have.

SOUND QUALITY

The pedal is highly transparent and does not color the sound. Some may see a downside, in my case I consider it as an advantage.
One must keep in mind that this pedal is not intended to add sustain.
From there, the pedal is pretty good (very good even if we take into account the price).
I use it mainly to "balance" the sound levels (avoid loss of signal splittant the humbuckers or bring out all the notes at the same volume for example). Sometimes it also helps me to "erase" the differences of attack of the strings, which brings a certain rhythmic see some leads.
It could also serve as a boost, but I do not have that use.
I personally have not heard of any unwanted noise for use (maybe the build quality is random and I was lucky with my model).

OVERALL OPINION

As stated in the previous opinion: it is a good analog compressor but never a sustainer. We must know to avoid disappointment ...
It is very neutral (in the sense that it does not color the sound) in my case that's what I wanted.
For the price (under 30 euros) I think it can hardly be disappointed and not get any better, so this is an excellent price / quality ratio.

I since its release in 2011, this is a very moderate compressor.
Suatain attack level true bypass and basta.

Well built, buzzes with no external power supply.

I do not think you can be paid internal trimpot unfortunately.

UTILIZATION

Well it's simple agreement but as the treatment is very timid one not go wrong for nothing actually.

The use I've found is as level adapter (several different guitars on a multi amp or Preset), then it is convenient especially that it also compensates for long distance cable to the amp .

Little or no breath, and I sustain very high.

SOUND QUALITY

You want chouic feature, go your way.
Want sustain hell for your solos, go your way.

However, the bass is always there at the output of the effect and the attack adjustment for the determination treble.

The sound is rather bas-médium/médium colorful hot, but not very clear.
The effect is discreet, also in parasites and other undesirables.

OVERALL OPINION

Come on, I really think it is useless, so take dc9 of Bébert which makes it something sound without interference either.

This dynamic compressor is flat, dull and lifeless, it's easier to sift a well marked compressor that vitalize this thing.
