Need Help With MXR DynaComp Troubleshooting

[Paul Marossy]

I have an MXR Dynacomp Rev E coming to me that I am going to try and fix. The problem is that the owner says it makes a puffing sound. Anyone ever experience this or have any ideas why it might be doing that? My intution says that it might be something to do with the CA3080 chip, but I'm not that knowledgeable about compressors...

Never mind, I fixed it. Easy fix, C5 was bad (1uF tantalum). Now it works fine again.
