"I think an external compressor is a better solution anyway.
    It gives you more options. I have a DBX MC6 Mini-Comp that allows me to
    adjust the Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, and Output Gain
    individually, select a hard or "soft" compression knee, or use auto
    programmed presets (vocal or instrument); and I'm not limited to having
    it on just one guitar."

   "I'll vouch for Boss compressors, too, although I don't use the current 
    CS-3.

    Some people still swear by the old MXR Dyna Comp, though.

    Me, I've been using the old Boss CS-1 for eons.  60dBs compression with a 
    treble-enhance mode switch.  (Musta had the Byrds in mind when they 
    designed it.)"
