MXR releases 76 Vintage Dyna Comp pedal

MXR Custom Shop has released the '76 Vintage Dyna Comp pedal - a recration of the '76 MXR Dyna Comp.

According to Harmony Central, it features the exact same circuitry used in the original 1976 Dyna Comp, identical in its component layout, silkscreen and handmade wire harness.

"The key component is the old school CA3080 "metal can" integrated circuit (IC), which yields quieter operation, greater transparency and increased dynamic range.
