I'd only really use a compressor much on cleaner tones to even everything up. Though I'm probably not who you should listen to as I don't normally play that type of stuff, and I don't play live either.
@Octatonic He's right about natural compression from an amp and it sounds and feels lovely, and to date, I've only experienced that with an old Vibrolux, early Peavey 5150 and Hayseed (Vox clone) - none of them mine- hence, the pedal stays on as generally, my sound is lacking something without it and it seems to bring the amp to life.
It does depend on which compressor you use as the effect of some, like a Dynacomp, are really obvious, and might seem obtrusive if left on. Supposedly, the new, mini-sized Xotic SP is a good versatile compressor
that's a good 'leave on' one.
I'm sure there are others
@bigjon was using a Boss CS-3 last night through a Laney (not sure of the model) practise-size amp, and it sounded fantastic.
I'm not sure if it was the Goji modded one, or if it was my old (non-modded) one. Either way it sounded ace.......

I stand corrected on the amp, but it still sounded awesomes.
