It truly damages audio. Even the tinnest of ear can hear it.
ANY currently produced plug-in compressor will be better.
This is from a guy who compresses EVERYTHING going in.
I loves me the crushin'!
OR better yet, have fun playing around and use your ears.
Good luck.

I hate to tell you -- but compression
is an effect.
Everyone's welcome to their own opinions -- and like I said, I haven't used my 3630 in years. It
is quite likely the most full featured compressor for anywhere close to the money. It's also one of the best selling compressors ever.
Here's a review from someone who put some time into evaluating a 3630:
GuitarGearHeads - Gear Up Your Sound - 3630 Compressor by Alesis - Effects - Gear News & Reviews
Here's an aggregation of 52 user reviews from Harmony Central:

Sound Quality 7.7 (51 responses)

Not stellar ratings, to be sure -- but maybe not too bad for $100 or so.
