Brent summed up my opinion of a compressor perfectly. I never use one, or rarely, when just playing by myself but with the band it's almost always on. With all the stage noise going on it just helps you rise above the fray but not in piercing volume way but rather a presence. I think of the compressor as presence. You are always just there all the time. And they don't really kill your dynamics unless you are using high settings.

I never could use a looper live either. In fact after about a year I'm going to just take mine off the board and add something else I might actually use. They certainly are fun to practice with though.
