I've heard some people claim it doesn't need a compressor and others claim it's a little picky on what pedals it takes. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!

Myself as a country player it's almost mandatory to use a compressor. What I have found is that I use my Boss Cs-3 to even out the strings volume and attack, not to compress the sound. My Stangray does add a little more compression, and quite a bit more attack to the tone. I usually just roll the attack down on the pedal a bit, and there is a sweet spot on the Stangray to remove some of the compression, and attack, I find that just shy of noon on the tone works best for all my pedals.

I use a Wampler Ego Compressor. It has all the controls you need to fine tune it. Sound great with my Ray.

I am also a country picker and I use a Keeley compressor but when playing through the Ray I found that there was no need to use it. I find it a bit more effective on higher powered clean amps like the Fender Twin.

country here as well. I 2nd that as I don't use one, and really don't miss it.

I really liked the Keeley Compressor when I had a Ray. Took a hint of brightness away that I couldn't get the Wampler to do.

I seriously recommend you try the Pigtronix Philosophers Tone. It is the best compressor I ever played! It has a grit knob that allows you to add some drive. I'm telling you, this pedal is up there with Keeley and all the other top end compressors. Hope that helps.
