compressor pedal vs delay pedal?

So I'm looking into adding another pedal along with my distortion and clone pedals and it's down to a compressor pedal and delay, my question is, for those who know a lot about pedals what exactly does a compressor pedal do? I'm currently using a Fender Mustang III amp and the compressor is one of the built-in effects you can use but I still haven't quite figured it out.

Thanks,
Frank

    I don't see how a compressor pedal would be an option. compression is generally used to decrease dynamics in a sound (make the loud and quiet parts more similar in loudness). delay would be more fun.

    Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

    Indeed. My friend just got one and it's nice. I have the Line 6 DL4 that I love as well but it is also very pricey.

    If you're thinkin about a Carbon Copy check this out. Malekko 616...Alot like CC, but more flexible.

    This site has lots of other amazing pedals and sample videos for alot of their stuff.


    I've got this and I love it. I've checked out alot of delays, but the tone on this one is addictive.

    I've never really messed with compression but I have checked them out. Keeley and Demeter are a couple to look at if you want a really good one.
