Soundtoys Devil-Loc Deluxe Audio Level Destroyer

Bring out the grit in even the cleanest tracks with this unique audio level destroyer. 

What it is: 
A crushing, pounding, aggressive compressor for massive drums and more. 

How we use it: 
Blend Devil-Loc in on the mix bus for game-changing grit. 

Why it's cool:
Devil-Loc Deluxe pays homage to a piece of Shure hardware from the '60s whose magic that, had it not been for Soundtoys, most engineers would never experience. 

SoundToys's Devil-Loc Deluxe spares nothing in its path of sonic destruction. When you want go go "further," but can't quite decide what that is, reach for Devil-Loc Deluxe. Crushing kick drums, massive sucking compression and insane rhythmic level-sweeps - this is dangerous sonic voodoo. The original Devil-Loc was cobbled together from the guts of a simple mic leveler when it came to light that pushing the device caused the signal to deteriorate in - shall we say - interesting ways. Use Devil-Loc Deluxe to conjure up your particular brand of sonic mayhem.
