jeep if you go the separate pedal route, expect to spend a lot of money buying and trying pedals. The compressor isn't going to do the job alone. First of all it won't color the tone and the songs you are listening to have the tone colored by distortion.
Distortion covers a wide range of sounds. Evaluations of distortion pedals is very subjective and often the opinion of the evaluator is swayed by a variety of factors that include playing technique, amplification, pups, and settings on both the pedal and the guitar. Not to mention the expectations on what kind of distortion they are looking for.
