Where to get itAvailable from Soundtoyssoundtoys.com
Devil-Loc Deluxe is a limiter and distortion plugin inspired by the Shure Level-Loc podium mic limiter from the late 1960s. It combines aggressive gain reduction with saturation and distortion to deliver crushing, dirty, pumping compression sounds suited for drums and lo-fi material. The plugin expands on the original hardware's limited controls with user-adjustable compression, crunch, darkness, release time switching, and wet/dry mix.
