I bought a new pedal today - a Keeley Compressor Plus.
You can read more about it here Simon’s Rig Rundown through time - #29 by simon_plays_bass
Here is a photo to whet your appetite for the longer read in the link.

Congrats, have fun with it!
I’ve got the pedal on my “some day, hopefully soon” list 
I haven’t plugged in a compressor pedal in a good long time. My main use is as a clean boost, and sometimes for added sustain. I find the humbucker setting on that pedal somewhat interesting as humbuckers tend to have plenty of compression naturally.
Well, the initial fiddle is complete. Red dots for humbuckers, white for single coils, “blend” the same for both. Whether I fiddle more remains to be seen. My experience with the one I have for bass, (a TC Electronics Hypergravity) has been that I spent a couple of evening fiddling, put the red and white dots on and haven’t moved them since. I did add some more coloured dots later for slap and pick, but the red (for my G&L L2000) and white ones (for my fretless jazz) haven’t changed.
“Some day, hopefully soon” sounds like a great theme for a pedal board Ashu; a board made up of entirely aspirational pedals. It set me off thinking what else one could have for themed boards: all analog, all digital, all Boss, all JHS 3 series, all collaboration pedals……
I think it affects the attack and release. I suspect it’s also making an adjustment to the input gain to reflect humbuckers (usually) having higher output than single coils.
Whether humbuckers really compress or not is a whole different topic - if this thought has piqued your interest I’ll leave it to you to do a bit of reading on the physics / pick-up science (if that’s a thing).
