Now go smash your drum bus.

You don't need a special plugin. You need a chain.

But at $99 (or $499 for the full bundle), it’s not always in the budget.

Let’s be real: Soundtoys Devil-Loc is a secret weapon. It’s not a "transparent" compressor; it’s a distortion box, a parallel smash-compressor, and a lofi generator all rolled into one greasy, aggressive unit. It turns boring drums into Led Zeppelin II and tame vocals into screaming rock anthems.
