Settings depend on the usage; it doesn't matter what brand of compressor is used as long as you know what the various controls do.

This Sound on Sound article explains more about compression: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1996_articles/apr96/compression.html

To quote from the article:

"You may have noticed, or at least read about, the fact that different makes of compressor sound different. But if all they're really doing is changing level, shouldn't they all sound exactly the same? As we've already learned, part of the reason is related to the shape of the attack and release curves of the compressor, and of course peak sensing will produce different results to RMS, but at least as important is the way in which a compressor distorts the signal."
