Download Analysis and Simulation of an Analog Guitar Compressor The digital modeling of guitar effect units requires a high physical similarity between the model and the analog reference. The famous MXR DynaComp is used to sustain the guitar sound. In this work its complex circuit is analyzed and simulated by using state-space representations. The equations for the calculation of important parameters within the circuit are derived in detail and a mathematical description of the operational transconductance amplifier is given. In addition the digital model is compared to the original unit.
