I almost always have a compressor on as well. I use modded Boss compressor. But I have to take it off when using the Q-Tron and on a few other songs that are finger picked and I need the dynamics. But yeah a compressor is almost always on.
I had bought the Boss compressor like 20 years ago and tried to like it but never could so I tossed it in my pedal box for like a 10 years or so. Then I heard about how you could mod one so I tried it and it made it super nice. Took all the hiss and noise out of it. At some point though I wanted to see if there was something better so I got a Dyna-Comp and thought... Why would anyone ever use this thing! Good gawd it was so noisy. I saw an add on my local craigs list where a guy wanted to to trade his SOul Food for a Dyna-comp so I jumped on it. The SOul Food is a great little compressor pedal. Not too noisy and very transparent. I like them! If I was going to run a noisy Dyna-Comp then my always on pedal might be a noise gate.

Wish I still had it for nostalgia reasons. They fetch a decent sum these days so I'm not likely to grab one when there are more sophisticated units available for less these days. A used Boss GE-7 would more than do the job for me.

If I'm playing anything other than old-time jazz standards, I'll have the Bluesey "on" all the time... it's a great little mini-pedal that provides just enough grit and breakup that is very touch-sensitive to attack and the guitar's volume controls...
I still can't get over how good this little peal is for such an incredibly low price...

- 1uf to 4.7uf caps - the 4.7 adds bass (the 1995 mod) - added a switch for the mod to 15k resistor to add mids While this circuit nominally for electrics, and sounds amazing with a strat or tele, it works in the FX loop for acoustic preamps, too (don’t plug a high-impedance passive directly into it - yecch!!). When used below the clipping threshold, it adds to the tone.

The Timmy pedal by Paul Cochrane is my always on pedal. The original pedals sell for about four times what they sold for when new. That tells you a lot.
The new MXR Timmy is affordable and it sounds authentic. The result of a collaboration between Paul and MXR. It's tiny but it sure makes a guitar sound big. It's great at the beginning of a pedal chain set as a clean boost and always on. Also works great set for distortion. Very useful eq. Named after Tim The Enchanter in a Monty Python film. I recommend it.

The Soul Food is a great pedal at a great price. It's not just a "bang for your buck" pedal but a great pedal regardless of the price point.
