500 Series compressor with wet/dry, sidechain filter and curve select

The Little Devil Compressor is a discrete, transformer-balanced 500 Series module that combines Wade Goeke’s designs with studio favourites of the past. It draws on Chandler Limited’s LTD-2 and Germanium Compressor, as well as the 2264 and 33609, to create an entirely new compressor.

Discrete transformer sound and handmade construction are at its core. Controls such as wet/dry mix, sidechain filter and curve selection make it extremely flexible, and together with its intense tone they deliver a powerful tool in a small box.

All of Chandler in one module

The Little Devil Compressor doesn’t copy one specific classic. It takes elements from Chandler’s LTD-2 and Germanium Compressor and from the 2264 and 33609, combining them into a new design for 500 Series racks.

Two compression curves

The Curve selector switches between Germ and Zener behaviour. The first follows the character of the Germanium Compressor, the second recalls EMI’s Zener limiters. Combined with the three-position Ratio, it covers everything from gentle control to strong, characterful compression.

Wet/dry and sidechain

The wet/dry mix allows parallel compression inside the unit: squeeze the signal hard and let through as much of the original as you need for natural transients. The 30 to 300 Hz sidechain filter keeps low frequencies from driving the compression, ideal for bass, drums and instrument groups.

Time and level

Attack is continuous and Release has three positions, fast, medium and slow. Input and Output set the drive and output level, and true bypass allows instant comparison. The module starts up without issues in current 500 Series racks.
