I think 2ndsling has the right approach. You shouldn't ask too much from your compressor. Some balance, some punch, that is really it. I have too MXR's, script and block. I prefer the block. The script has so much compression, it is almost off the charts. I just want a tad of compression in most cases, unless playing some really loud blues.

By the way, to me the beauty of the MXR is the two knobs. I am just lost if it is more complex than than when incorporating it with all the other pedals and amp settings. Less knobs, the better.
