this would work as a single band EQ not a compressor. Just a really tight Q eq that can sweep in the midrange from like 1000-10000
sweeps from 2k-8k

This should mimic the "Insufferable Midrange Filter" from the Amplified Instrument Processer: https://korneffaudio.com/product/amplified-instrument-processor/

They describe it as:

Electric guitars have a lot of energy in the presence region—from 2kHz to 8kHz. It tends to
impart a "whistling" sort of sound to a recording. One guitar on a song, maybe not so bad.
But after a few overdubs... AY CARAMBA! So much 4k it hurts! The IMF is a notch filter
specifically designed to clean up the whistle on electric guitar tracks, but it works well to
tame cymbals, keyboards and vocals as well. Click in the LISTEN button to hear exactly
where you're tuning the filter. Set the center frequency of the notch filter by adjusting
FREQUENCY to the spot where the whistle is most annoying, and then turn REDUCTION
counterclockwise to nip it out. Use the OCTAVE RANGE control to also remove the whistle
frequency's upper harmonic by setting it to 2. Remove both the upper harmonic and the
subharmonic by setting it to 3. You'll have to play with this control to get the result you
want.
The HF COMPENSATION is a gentle shelf boost starting at the center frequency of the
notch to restore some life to the high end. ENABLE inserts the IMF into the signal path. Be
sure to pop out the LISTEN button when you're done unless you want things to sound like a
broken iPhone. The IMF only has controls on the front panel, thank the Lord above.

I would describe it as:

A single band of EQ with a SUPER tight Q that only has the ability to reduce the selected frequency.

The parameters are:

Frequency (range should be 2k-8k)
Reduction (should start at 0 and only have negative values)
Octave Range
High Freq Compensation

On/Off
