There's a Biyang Compress X up on eBay atm, very reasonable. It's a cleaned up Dyna Comp and a good starting point if you're not sure what it is you're after.

If you've never had a comp at all before I would actually say the best thing to do is get a Boss CS-3 which is capable of a very large range of compression, see which is the sort of ballpark you wanna be in and then go from there. The CS-3 is really underrated in my opinion. People say they're noisy and they're right at high levels of compression, but they're no noisier than Dyna's in my experience.

but also really brings OD pedals to life! Sounds amazing in front of my KOT

Spotify, Apple et al
*This also may count as what's bad about it.
Also.... if you're going to be using as an always on pedal (or a mostly on), don't buy a cheap and nasty one. Unlike the other guy, I'd say definitely don't get a Boss CS-3. It's noisy, really colours your tone and cannot take any gain without squealing. I know compressors and overdrive/distortion needs to be handled carefully when used together.... but a good comp like the SP or Wampler seem to have a much higher ceiling when used with gain. I used to have a CS-3 for when I felt I needed a comp but really hated it. I then got an SP and a Signa Comp Deluxe and was like 'aaaahhh, that's what compressors are supposed to be like!'.
There will be guys who absolutely disagree with me but that's pedals for you :-)
I'm keeping an eye on the FX £ sub-forum for interesting sales....
