Dunlop is also well-known for its other guitar products, such as slide barrels, capos, and guitar picks. Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc. also brings you many other music supplies from companies such as Dallas-Arbiter and MXR. Dunlop is based out of Benicia, California.

The MXR Dyna Comp is a compressor that allows you to set an output level and the sensitivity at which it kicks in. This device can produce that percussive, clicky sound on a clean guitar - the mainstay of 80s pop players - or a mellow sustain for lead work. The M-102 is designed to capture the sound and performance of the originals which it does with an authentic vintage flavor. Rack spotters may have noticed several Dyna Comps in Dave Gilmour's monster system.
