pedal/effects suggestions

I am looking for feedback on improving my sound. I mainly play an American Jazz through a SWR 750 and Mesa Boogie 4x10 cabinet. I do not want effects for solos or anything, just maybe compressors or filters to smooth out the sound and make it as consistent as possible. I recently changed to flatwound strings and that made a huge difference.

I notice a lot of bigger musicians have pedals in their rackmount that are on all the time to define their sound. Looking for suggestions.

Tones I love: John Stirratt - Wilco, Chris Wood - MMW (both play Ps but I have a J)
