Compression is generally thought of as reducing dynamic range.
However, let's say I've got a guitar amplifier that puts out pretty
much the same volume when I pick lightly in the entire range from
"light" to "soft-medium" (using an arbitrary input scale from 0dB to
3dB). If I put a compressor post-amp and side-chain it to my guitar
input I could run it ducked whereby it's only active when the input
is below 3dB on that arbitrary scale. Have I not expanded the lower
threshold of my dynamic range?
I wouldn't even bother with the compressor. Just drop a DI and mix
that in with the amp's signal.

Use as much compression as you wish. You must please yourself, not others!
