Not really necessary for electric - pace country.

Dynacomp/Ross -(Nile Rodgers) Funk chord playing - subtly robs the playing of some of it's dynamic, that can be predicted and incorporated into playing.
Dynacomp/Ross - (John Frusciante) squashing the dynamics and giving a rounder tone in Under The Bridge.
Ross in the effects loop - (Andy Summers) give rhythm playing a cool sort of uniformity.
... and that's just used on a clean tone.
The Zendrive has a natural amount of compression as does a valve amp...
Rothwell Love Squeeze - like a proper mixing console balances the volume of the strings to provide a great balanced sound.
I used a pretty average solid state amp that has an OK but not brilliant clean sound - compression takes away some of the harshness and evens the cleans out with the effect of making them smoother yet still punchy.
I think of it almost as another tone or EQ knob rather than an "effect" as such.
Does not compute........

If you want a good small fully adjustable dynamic controller then you could do a lot worse than the Really Nice Compressor on your board or in the loop.
