I use a smidge of compression on my pedalboard playing live, and I'm plugging my pick-up into a preamp and then on to the PA.
When recording, I use a good condenser mic and no compression at all when recording. If it needs any, I add it in post.
Two completely different usage cases. While you can record your compressed pickup signal, the recording quality won't be nearly as good as a dry signal from a good mic, and you're stuck with the compression whether it works with the rest of the recording or not.
