Featuring an internal input sensitivity control, the Keeley Compressor is very effective in the studio for other instruments including drum machines, keyboards, mastering and other line-in uses.
The Dyna Comp has been around for many years, and is known to give many years of reliable service. The construction is in a rugged metal casing, with two nice rotary control knobs, plus a sturdy metal footswitch.
Further to the tube design, most other tube type products use between 9 and 50 volts of swing to enable compression, whereas the Black Finger design has a full 300 volts, making this a true tube compressor in every sense.
Speaking of Gain, the range of this control produces anything from light distortion to modern Metal. However, even when maxed out, the notes still retain their clarity.
The Pedal comes with five controls – Level, Low, High, Gain and Bias. On low levels, the box produces some nice plexi tones. However, for great sounding Metal, crank up that Level control and prepare to be blown away. Low and High controls are fairly explanatory, enabling control over the treble and bass.
