I am planning on getting a delay pedal, I just want my bass to sound like a sitar if that's what I feel like doing.

Being at a loss for explanation, I found this to be of some assistance.

A preamp is something the brings a signal up to line level. A mic preamp is for microphones, a guitar preamp is for guitars. Any box that can take input other than line level can be called a preamp.
An ideal preamp is transparent, but they can be combined with effects for convenience. EQ and limiter being common in mic preamps. Overdrive in guitar preamps.
A compressor is an effect that reduces the dynamic range of a signal.
