If you like fat and punchy sounds, you'll love the Little Devil EQ

Chandler Limited's Little Devil 500 Series Equalizer is an ideal go-to EQ for in-your-face snares and fat, punchy kick drums. In fact, it sounds great on everything. It delivers rich-sounding and distinctively vintage-flavored EQ, while giving you the modern control you need to sculpt your sound precisely. Designer Wade Goeke's number one rule is that he would not make anything he wouldn't put in his own rack. We'd add that the Little Devil EQ is definitely a piece you want in your rack.

Your sonic obsession: Chandler's mission

Recording engineers are always looking for fresh tonal colors and approaches when tracking - it's an obsession. Chandler feeds this addiction with their innovative take on the technologies of the past. They start with painstaking component selection. The Little Devil EQ's parts list reads like a 40-year-old document. Seriously - they just don't build 'em this way anymore. Hand-wired and assembled in the USA, the Little Devil EQ utilizes 100% discrete transistor circuitry and specially wound transformers. Aside from the fact that you'll have this puppy forever, the weapons-grade build quality is a means to an end - the sound. Glorious, fat, supremely musical sound, with amazing headroom. Stock your arsenal with the Chandler Limited Little Devil 500 Series Equalizer.

Vintage EQ for your 500 Series rack

Chandler Limited's collection of EQs, compressors/limiters, and preamplifiers are among the best in the industry. Indeed, Chandler Limited's innovative Germanium Series uses classic, smooth-sounding germanium transistors - like those found on the earliest Neve, EMI, Telefunken, and Fairchild units - to effectively revive that warm vintage sound palette. What's more, in addition to fantastic outboard gear, Chandler offers up classic sounds in plug-in form with their spot-on emulations of the legendary Abbey Road console. When you want a vintage touch brought to your modern recordings, trust Chandler Limited.

Rated 5/5

A very impressive EQ

The Little Devil is a very high quality EQ and delivers excellent results. It has very musical and sweet presence and mid boosts and though the bass and treble controls are somewhat limited in frequency choices they deliver fatness and smooth crispness with ease. The sound of the inductor midrange bands is delicious and just dripping with flavor and vibe. Everything sounds better with this EQ on it. This is not a surgical problem solver, rather it is a beautiful sweetener and enhancer.

I sold my soul and I couldn't be happier!

Seriously, these may be the best thing I have ever bought for my studio. The amount of mojo you get just running signal through these is insane.

Definitely very colored eq, but in the best possible way. Even very small adjustments make a huge difference and even though they are basically console EQ strips, I have been using them on the 2-buss and its amazing the amount of sweetening they bring to the table. For tracking individual instruments they also rule.

My only complaint at all would be the small gain knobs don't feel very solid and are not stepped, BUT that is a lot to ask in a 500 series format that has this much flexibility at this price.

Overall extremely happy, only downside at all is that they make my console eq which I have always loved (soundcraft ghost) feel pretty inferior. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a quality, flexible, mojo adding eq.

PS. I spoke to Wade at Chandler before buying them and after and he was incredibly honest and cool to deal with.

Wow! Just having this EQ in-line with everything flat, imparts the sound of the Chandler transformers, instantly adding that magic oomph to the track! The Devil EQs are super thick and warm, by far the fattest sounding EQ I have ever heard.
