looking for good compressor

I have an ampeg classic tube head and 8/10 cabnet . right now im only running a korg dtr 1000 tuner in my rack but would like to add a good compressor . I hear the dbx 166xl is a great one but before i buy wanted to hear some feed back . Am i on the right track going that rought .
 
For as long as I've been here, I've wondered about a search engine on a bass forum that won't recognize the word 'bass.'

And so I can't be accused of derailing the thread's original intent...the early BBE Opto Stomp (the non-moustache/monocle version) is an incredible value and well worth looking for.
