Carl Martin makes a very nice, though hi-fi, compressor pedal. AC power only. Very quiet. Has an adjustable attack which can be set very fast, almost like a rack compressor -- I've used it with good effect on the direct signal from an acoustic pickup in the studio. It can also be squishy, but a little sterile if you're looking for that effect.

I have a BYOC 5-knob kit waiting for me to get to it -- it comes with a number of opamps to customize the sound. They also make kits for the Armstrong Orange Squeezer and an optical compressor, though most seem to prefer the 5-knob (Ross clone).
