Compression was the secret ingredient in Byrd’s jangle as they ran 12 string through a couple tube compressors direct to the board. Mcguinn uses a pedal now to get that sounds.

MXR Compressor with the 'snake eyes' setting is pretty much the default for a Tele to get that spanky country sound.
There is a Byrds inspired compressor called the "Jangle Box" that some pedal scientist has out there.
