Deek if you run a 300 or 1000, or 3000 Hz signal into a good compressor,
since the circuit its only a controlled gain amp, the sinewave will come
out not distorted.

Simple test. Use a dual channel oscilloscope.

Display the input signal on one channel.

Display the output signal on the other.

Normalize the gain at one frequency, and don't touch the gain for the duration
of the test.

Adjust both traces to overlap each other.

Insert a swept frequency audio signal into the device. If the two traces are not
identical, the circuit introduces DISTORTION.

A brief course in Fourier transforms will convince you that a distorted sine
wave signal is still a series of sine waves, the fundamental, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th
harmonic, etc. The existence of those harmonics is by definition DISTORTION.

Your choice of expletives indicates either: you are losing the discussion and
have decided to shout louder; or, you are still in need of further intellectual
development. I recommend you spend 4 or 5 years earning an EE degree from an
accredited university.

You may desire distortion for some purpose, but it is still distortion.
