How many types of compressors?

you have the The MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor), The JFET (Junction field-effet transistor), vari mu are tubes Variable transconductance ("vari-mu", "remote-cutoff" or "super-control") tubes in general are those with a non-uniform grid wire spacing to allow them to handle a wide range of input signal levels without excessive cross-modulation distortion (thanx wiki) Dynamic range compression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia just read this. You are just naming different types of either voltage/current controlled components. Each have different ways of reacting to changes in voltage/current.
 
There are also "digtial"...algorithm-based plugs...comps...

...and of course, the original comp, the manual fader ride.
