I ended up getting a DOD Milkbox Compressor. Surprisingly enough, it's great. I've had very bad experience with DOD's, but this one is different. It doesn't kill the tone, the bypass isnt that bad, and it's "Hi Expanse" control helps a whole lot as well.

You can check the reviews on harmonycentral.com, I'm not the only one that thinks this compressor is great.

I tried the CS-3; Doc, you were right that thing blew. I also tried the Carl Martin, and didn't like it at all. It colored my tone way too much, and had a very harsh attack that I couldn't get rid of.

You should all check out the DOD milkbox though, I was happily surprised.
