I have an old Indigo stereo compressor, which I strap ahead of my vocals every time.
Had the use of an Ivory and although it is a decent enough unit, the harmonic distortion just sounds er well best way I can describe the difference is that the Ivory sounds grittier in a bad way.
As mentioned above, provided you keep the gain levels reasonable you wont have any problem getting a decent sound out of it, but don`t expect Instant Tube Magic.

I have yet to try an Ebony unit, which of course would be a very viable alternative, as would any number of other character voice channels in the same price range.
