Mostly not worry about it. I tend to use that sort of compression less as an effect, and more to help the limiter do its job at to get maximal drum volumization. To do that live, I just... turn it up.

I use a great plethora of panning effects, and have been using this method to record my channels separately and cleanly so I can layer and pan them independently without quadrupling the noise floor. Maintaining your panning effects requires you to record an LCR, recording JUST the stuff on the left of your entire song, then JUST the stuff in the center, then JUST the stuff on the right. This does take a while, but it is totally worth it. Having a true mono center instead of the false phantom center created by the gameboy's output leaves room in the mix for other instruments or vocals, or just increased stereo possibilities. Panning stereo signals BLOWS.
The advent of the PISSbox streamlines this process GREATLY. PISSbox will eliminate the need for me to bounce the two signals together in Protools (which bounces in real time... HOURS).

Yesx1000. try to keep leads, fills, or anything consistent in the pulse channels below 8-. I try to reserve 9-F for heavy drum hits- that also leaves some room on top for the bass to cut through in between hits.
Also try playing around with the WAV shape in the draw tool. A lot of the pure triangle/sine waves are pretty gentle imo and don't always cut through- try screwing with one or two bits of the waveform to give it just a touch of crunch.

Apply 1 part loose razor blade, 8 parts patience.
Also, mine tore in one place when I took it up... conveniently enough, its in that one part of the screen on the lower right where there isn't anything in LSDJ... point is, it actually looks kinda cool.

a DAMN blast!
