How many use a compresser on their steels and what kind?

I use a Lexicon 200 that has a built in compressor that I use "slightly" along with some delay and chorus. I use a Tube Works unit with spring reverb for that effect.

Hey Larry,
I'll trade you a Boss CS-3 Compressor/Sustainer for your Acoustic Simulater pedal if you are interested.

How many use a compressor?
I think exactly 2873 of us PSG players use a compressor. This inludes my Zoom 505II.
I still need to find a way to put it before my volume pedal, without destroying the Reverb. Any hints or suggestions?

Dito to Bobby Boggs, however, since I learn more and more how to handle my boogie Studio pre-amp,finding there the nice sweet spots, the less I need to compress. Although, I miss it when I don't use it, but maybe it's just a kind of safety-idea

QUESTION: What was it that drove you in the direction of wanting, acquiring and using a compressor?
Why do you use it now? WHAT does it do for you that your own technique can't do?
Are we listening to the REAL YOU.......or,
are we hearing a plastic, synthesized
resemblance(sp?) or what, already?
Just curious..... I have strong memories of the "old stuff" that made Jerry Byrd and Buddy Emmons household words in thousands of homes. HOW did they make it to stardom without all these new found gadgets.
For the sensitive ones here, I'm not being critical of anyone or any product that does what YOU want. I'm just sincerely curious about what it was that "hooked" you.
