LLS
looks like shit, sounds fuckin great.
Six units. One rack. Drawn by a toddler, engineered by a caffeine problem. A squishlabs joint. Buy once, no BS subscriptions, updates 4 lyfe.
Stack 'em. Drag 'em. Wreck 'em.
Six units, one glorious chain. Reorder with the little ^/v arrows, mute a unit with BYP, chuck it with x, drag it back from the tray when you miss it. Gain staged so hard you'd think we knew what we were doing.
Stack it
Grab any of the six and pile 'em on. Load one, load all of 'em. We're not your dad.
Move it
Comp then tape then verb, or total chaos. The order's yours. So are the consequences.
Trust it
It just works. BYP to A/B like a pro, x to yeet a unit, tray to un-yeet it. Easy.
Meet the gremlins.
Six units, each scribbled like the gear it's jealous of and voiced like it actually went to school for this. Every knob wiggles when you touch it. Every meter has a bit of tape slapped over it that says use ur ears, because honestly? You should.
FET-style squish that clamps down before your snare knows what hit it. Ratios 4, 8, 12, 20, and ALL (yes, all of them, at once, go nuts). Slam the input till it begs for mercy. There's a meter, but we taped over it. Use ur ears.
Boost and cut the same frequency at the same time, because rules are for cowards. Fat lows, silky top, a tube glow that makes everything sound like it costs more than it did. The curve redraws while you fiddle.
Push it and it saturates like a tape deck that's seen some things. Head bump, rolled-off top, wow and flutter that drift just enough to feel human, plus real hiss for the hipsters. The reels actually spin. We're very proud of that.
An 8-line reverb that shimmers, smears and floats your vocal into the stratosphere. Lush, glassy, slightly haunted. Bang it on a snare and thank us later. Turn the tail up and lie down.
Multi-head tape echo that gets dirtier and droopier every time it repeats, exactly like it should. Crank the feedback and it self-oscillates into a screaming mess. There's a little tape loop you can watch loop. Mesmerising. Get back to work.
You know the one. That honky, buzzy, gloriously rude pedal grind. Dime the DIST, set the TOAN to taste, ruin a guitar, ruin a synth, ruin a whole mix if you're brave. The LED glows angrier the harder you push.
Roll the tape.
One video. Us building the rack, dragging stuff around, and every unit doing its thing out loud. No cherry-picking, no fake before/after. Use ur ears.

FAQ
Does it actually sound good?
Yeah, weirdly. The crayon look is the joke. The DSP is dead serious. Stack all six and it holds together instead of turning into mud. Don't believe us? Use ur ears.
Why does it look like that?
Because everything else looks the same. Fake screws, fake wood, fake VU meters, yawn. We drew ours with a marker and a bad attitude. It's squishlabs. That's the whole bit.
What can I run it in?
If your DAW eats VST3 or AU, it eats LLS. Logic, Ableton, FL, Reaper, Bitwig, Cubase, the lot. There's a Standalone too, for when you just want to make noise and avoid your project.
Is the smoke a bug?
No. It's a feature we didn't ask for and refuse to remove. Two units is fine. Past that she starts smoking. She's earned it.
Updates and refunds?
Updates are free forever. If LLS doesn't spark joy in 14 days, email us and we'll refund you, no weird questions, no "have you tried turning it off and on again".
