The Little Devil is a serious contender if you're chasing that classic Chandler vibe in a compact 500 format. It's a fantastic glue compressor for tracking and mixing, especially for drums, guitars, and vocals where you want a bit of aggressive character and that distinct germanium flavor. Producers seeking a powerful, relatively transparent, and characterful compressor will find it invaluable.
