Opinions on Carl Martin Compressor vs. JoeMeek FloorQ?

I'm planning to buy a new compressor pedal for my guitar and I'm leaning toward either the JoeMeek FloorQ or the Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter.

I'm a recording engineer as well as a guitarist so I want a pedal that works similar to the controls on a rack or recording plugin compressor. Most guitar pedals tend to simplify to 2 or 3 knobs "level" "sustain" and maybe "tone." I want control over ratio (often what the "sustain" knob does) threshold, attack (or "response"), etc.

I welcome your thoughts about either the Carl Martin or the FloorQ - or even a new suggestion based on what I'm looking for. If anyone has heard these 2 side by side I'd love to hear from you especially.

Great compressor reviews from another GS member.

I think compressors are mostly a subject of flavor once you get into a certain level of quality. Listen to some here at...
