Zoom B3 Compressor settings?

Hey Guys,
I finally picked one of these up and so far I'm really enjoying it. I was wondering what compressor models you are using and what settings? I would like to see if it would be possible to just tighten up my fingerstyle tone a bit. Nothing too obvious but I'm interested in what you guys a re all doing.
Take Care,
Brent
 
For not obvious compression I like the 160 Comp. I set the threshold at -25, the ratio at 3 or 4, gain at 6, hard knee, level at 66.
For a little more squeeze I like the M Comp but it does have some distortion, threshold 25, ratio 4, level 60, attack 1 or 2.
The D Comp is not bad either, it's sort of halfway between the other two soundwise. Sensitivity 7, tone 4, level 60, fast attack.
