Rusty Box + Compressor?

Hi - I hope this question isn't too lame. I've got a Rusty Box I use for the drive channel to give me a really gritty and aggressive tone. I want to keep the volume and tone, but limit it when it gets messy (not explaining this well?). I want to keep the low end that the rusty box does well, have the gritty layer on top but kind of keep it under control. I think a compressor would do this? I had an MXR supercomp a few years ago and it was hissy and I just couldn't use it (found a lot of tone suck? - probably me not knowing how to use it though)

There's a short bass line here at 1:15 that sums up what I'm talking about - it's driven and gnarly, but not roaring out uncontrollably
