Safari Pedals The Standard Audio Level-Or 1.4.2025
 

Level-Or is a fierce character compressor/limiter based on the cult-classic 500 series hardware unit by Standard Audio. Rebuilt with Safari Pedals' lush interface and extra tone shaping tools, it's a beast of a plugin-perfect for smashing drums, vocals, or any sound that needs a punch in the face (in a good way).
Legendary Hardware. Now in the Box.
This isn't your everyday transparent compressor. Level-Or Mk2 brings attitude to your tracks with aggressive gain reduction, crunchy saturation, and a unique sonic signature that made the original a secret weapon for top engineers.
Two Modes. Infinite Energy.
Switch between the beloved Mk1 and Mk2 flavors, each with their own distinct punch and grit. Whether you're after gritty lo-fi or explosive high-energy dynamics, Level-Or Mk2 delivers.
•Mk1 - Original vintage-flavored crunch, raw and nasty.
•Mk2 - Extended range, improved fidelity, more surgical control.
Extra Safari Sauce
•Pre/Post Tone Shaper - Sculpt your transients or shape the body with the versatile tone control.

•Crunch, Slow, Fast Modes - Choose your flavor of dynamic punishment.
•VU Metering - Visual feedback to match the madness.
•Blend & Oversampling - Modern touches for hybrid workflows.
