Compressor - how to smash everything?

Team,

I'm having a hard time make the Kemper compressor behave like a traditional studio compressor.

In particular I want to kill dynamics and compress everything to death This would be a stylistic choice for clean tone tapping. Very hard to get even tone with multi finger tapping and on a clean tone and I'd like to get all the help I can

What settings would you suggest to "overcompress" and kil dynamics? A bit like Metallica did on St Anger

Try one before and one after the stack. Also there’s a comp in the amp section crank that one too.

Attack at 0 and Squash all the way up. Mix at 100%. You can even stack 2 comps
