Why does it sound shit btw? Too piercing? Too middy? Breaks up?

The downside is that they sound worse through less good amplification. I'm not 100% sure about the new ES2 - I haven't tried one yet - but the original ES sounds tinny, noisy and quite electric-guitar-like if you're not careful, and works best when used in fully-balanced mode (TRS cable direct from the guitar to the stagebox/desk).
The Boss CS-2 will most likely cause serious feedback problems - it's an electric guitar 'effect' compressor. You need a dedicated acoustic compressor which is more like a studio one with a threshold setting as well as ratio, which the Boss doesn't have.
I haven't tried the TC, but there's a surprising one that works quite well if you're forced to use an electric guitar amp - a Boss AC-2 or AC-3 Acoustic Simulator. Although they don't sound great for making an electric guitar sound like an acoustic, they do actually make an electro-acoustic sound more acoustic through a guitar amp… I don't know why!

You can get away with blending a tiny, and I mean tiny amount of the acoustic signal into the pedal for a little more 'air', but no more.
Warning appreciated...

I think it has a far better simulated acoustic tone, but is more focused as a result.
This will definately fulfill your needs, I use both a Takamine and a Taylor through it and its great, has a footswitchable boost too
