Compressors and Distortion

[CleverDan]

What's everyone's opinion about how compressors distort?  I've heard some distort more than others.  In particular, how is the DynaComp?  I hear good things about it, but how clean does it stay when cranked compared to others?

You get some coloration from the Dynacomp, but anything that you'd immediately recognize as distortion.

I feel that I get lots more "colour" out of my dynacomp than my orange squeezer (which is fairly transparent except for barely audible ripple that I think is a product of the simple rectifier).
