The Herd – Parallel Compressor Gone Wild

The Herd is Safari’s triple-engine compressor built for musical glue, character, and chaos. Ride with Opto smoothness, VCA punch, or unleash the Devil for gritty analog bite. It’s warm, wild, and wonderfully unpredictable; perfect for taming mixes or setting them free.
