i'm not quite sure what the sound is you're looking for but i think
you want a combination of a compressor feeding a *very* gentle
overdrive.  

i haven't used #1771 in a while but i think that as with steve's #1209
you need to keep the gain/drive at an absolute minimum, just allow the
compressor attack overshoot to add some harmonics.

the caps compressor/limiter is probably not capable of producing the
clear timbre i would associate with bright modern pop.
